Arne Bang vase Model 124 In beautiful green and brown glaze made by Danish Artist Arne Bang in the 1940s. The vase is in good original condition with no cracks or chips in the vase. Arne Bang was trained as a sculptor and created sculptures and decorations in public spaces. Arne Bang has also solved graphic tasks and e.g. designed three Christmas stamps, but it is as a designer of stoneware, silver and pewter that he is known nationally and internationally. As a ceramic designer, Arne Bang was essentially self-taught, but he early on had an openness and curiosity towards different materials as well as a special sense for their many possibilities, which came to characterize his entire multifaceted artistic work. The outlet for his ceramic production was his training as a sculptor and his skills for modeling and shaping. When Bang established Holmegaard Stentøj (1929), the goal was to create quality ceramics that collectors would want to own, but at a price so that a larger audience could acquire it. This succeeded so well that the stoneware was popularly referred to as 'Gaven'. Ironically, today Bang's ceramics are sought after by collectors worldwide. The decorative bulging ribs or tighter grooves are characteristic of Bang's organic and sculptural stoneware. He designed vases, jars, dishes, bowls, mugs and lamp holders with a focus on a sculptural expression. The basic geometric shapes are laid out, but softened by the fine glazes and with decorative variations such as attached figures. Statuettes as well as small and large sculptures were also a natural part of Bang's ceramic production. Early highlights include The Tycho Brahe vase (1927) made together with Carl Halier for the Copenhagen Observatory in the Botanical Garden, the Elephant (1930) and the Ball vase (1937) for King Christian X...
