About the Item
Mid-Century Modern Hand-Sculpted Stoneware Vase with Sgraffito Technique and Butterflies, Sweden 1950s
Crafted in the 1950s, this hand-sculpted and hand-decorated stoneware vase hails most likely from Alingsås, Sweden. The vase showcases a unique mouth rim, cut at approximately a 45-degree angle, adding a distinctive touch to its design.
Dominating the design are two mustard yellow butterflies, gracefully meeting over elegant tulip-shaped leaves. These elements are set against a dark grey and white overlay striped background, created using the sgraffito technique.
Sgraffito, a decorative art form developed by Polish designer Marian Zawadzki in the 1950s, involves carving fine lines into the surface of a design through a light-colored glaze to reveal a contrasting dark grey clay slip beneath. This intricate technique lends depth and texture to the vase's backdrop, enhancing the overall visual appeal.
The bottom of the vase is marked with the initials "Mi" and either "63" or "65". Additionally, a small handle adorns the vase, providing both aesthetic and functional value.
A true representation of Swedish craftsmanship and mid-century modern design, this vase is a testament to the artistic innovation and creativity of its era.
