Narrow long necked vase in yellow glaze by Eva Stæhr Nielsen for Saxbo, Denmark

About the Item

In the context of Danish ceramic art of the 1950s, this vase occupies a special place, representing not only the pinnacle of Eva Stæhr Nielsen's artistic prowess but also serving as a shining example of the timeless beauty that can be achieved through the marriage of form and function. Standing at a modest height of 16 centimeters and possessing a diameter of 10 centimeters, this exquisite vessel beckons the beholder to immerse themselves in its subtle yet profound beauty. The elongated neck of the vase gracefully extends upwards, a testament to Nielsen's mastery of form and proportion. Its slender silhouette, tapering gently towards the rim, evokes a sense of fluidity and poise, as if it were a reed swaying in a gentle breeze. The choice of a pale yellow glaze adds a soft and ethereal quality to the piece, suffusing it with a timeless elegance that transcends the bounds of mere functionality. Bathed in a lustrous sheen, the surface of the vase invites the viewer to trace their fingers along its contours, each stroke revealing the meticulous craftsmanship that went into its creation. As with all of Nielsen's works, there is a sense of harmony and balance imbued within this vase. Every curve, every line, is executed with precision and intent, resulting in a composition that exudes a quiet yet undeniable charm. It is a testament to the ceramist's keen eye for detail and her unwavering dedication to the craft.190
