A pair of gorgeous handmade vintage stoneware pottery vases known as "Lummer", made by Olle Alberius for Rörstrand, Sweden. Alberius ceramic always has a special feeling, the shapes are simple, but the glazing is just stunning. These vases will create a cozy and warm vibe in any interior, due to the rustic and handmade feeling. The pattern is slightly abstract yet knowing that Alberius has used the Swedish nature as an inspiration for his ceramics make sense. Lummer is a plant native to Scandinavian Forest, which can be seen in the decor of these vases on both sides, a type of fern-like moss, quite like fiddleheads unfolding. Very organic, as his designs tended to be. It is signed in the under glazed at the bottom, it is very much a part of Scandinavian Mid-Century modern aesthetics. The price is for both vases and includes free shipping.
The larger one is 22.5cm (8.85") high and around 8.5cm (3.34") wide and 5cm (1.96") deep, in a warm beige color and in a very good condition.
The smaller one is is 14 cm (5.51") high and around 11cm (4.33") wide and around 7cm (2.75") deep, and has the same warm beige color and in a very good condition.
