This unique stoneware set comprises a vase, jar, and plate, all featuring an oxblood glaze, crafted by Henning Nilsson (1907 - 1993) of Höganäs. Each piece bears Nilsson's incised signature. The vase, with its baluster shape and concave upper and lower parts, showcases a blend of sand-colored and dark red oxblood glaze. The jar, broad and cylindrical, exhibits remnants of red oxblood glaze on reliefed rings, with visible red drops at the base. Meanwhile, the plate, predominantly sand-colored, boasts a striking splash of dark red oxblood glaze in its center, extending towards the edges. Vase Measures: Height: 18 cm, Diameter: 9 cm Incised: "Höganäs, HN" Jar Measures: Height: 13,5 cm, Diameter: 11,5 cm Incised: "20-5-65, Henning Nilsson, Höganäs" Plate Measures: Height: 3 cm, Diameter: 18,7 cm Incised: "10-7-60, Henning Nilsson, Höganäs" Henning Nilsson's mastery of glazes, particularly his unique oxblood glaze, distinguishes these pieces. His experimentation with glazes and forms resulted in creations that are both visually captivating and historically significant. The details about Nilsson's background and his association with the Höganäs ceramic tradition is very interesting. The provenance of these pieces lies in Höganäs, where Nilsson established his workshop and experimented with ceramics. These pieces are highly representative of Nilsson's signature style, which is usually characterized by his innovative oxblood glazes. ABOUT OXBLOOD GLAZE Oxblood glaze, originating in 18th-century Chinese porcelain, is a deep red ceramic glaze, also known as Sang de boeuf glaze. Developed during the Kangxi reign, it's part of a series of "flambé" glazes marked by varying effects. Primarily made with copper oxide in a reducing atmosphere, it was produced with a variety of shades of colour and as well as mottling, streaked effects in the glaze, which often fades to white at the top of pieces, and conversely thickens around the shoulders of vases and at the foot, which is often not fully covered by the glaze. There is often crackle, and a greenish tinge at the edges of the glazed area, where the glaze is thin. All of these were considered desirable effects. Generally the glaze is only applied to the outside of closed shapes, the inside and rim left with a clear glaze. ABOUT HENNING NILSSON Henning Sigfrid Nilsson, born on October 7, 1907, in Välinge, Sweden, and passed away on January 14, 1993, in Höganäs, was a distinguished Swedish ceramist. Henning embarked on his artistic journey by crafting small stone playing balls, which he fired in a brick kiln and sold to his close acquaintances. During the tumult of the Second World War, he diversified his endeavors, establishing a tailoring, laundry, and antique shop in Höganäs to augment his income. It was through this antique trade that he encountered the sculptor Robert...

A beautiful stoneware vase with amazing hand-painted decor. Made by Hertha Bengtson for Rörstrand, Sweden, 1950s. Excellent condition. Signed 'Bengtson' and 'R' för Rörstrand. Hertha Bengtson (1917-1993) is one of the well-known representatives of the illustrious Swedish ceramic design of the 20th century. She was one of the leading designers for the Rörstrand factory in the 1950s. Bengtson is represented at the Swedish National Museum of Art and Design. Hertha Bengtson was born in Ysane in Blekinge and grew up on a farm with her four brothers. Her parents were Henning and Asta Bengtson. Her father was a jack-of-all-trades and ran both a mink farm and a shop alongside his farm, which was the least of his interests. Her mother, to whom Hertha Bengtson was very close, was a skilled weaver. Hertha Bengtson's interest in textiles and handicrafts came from her mother. From her grandmother she inherited Scanian country textile knowledge and from her grandmother’s neighbour she learned to tat the Scanian way, without patterns. Upon completing her education at a girls’ school, Hertha Bengtson wanted to become a drawing teacher. However, there was no money to continue her formal education. Hertha Bengtson achieved top marks in drawing and handicrafts and therefore gained a place as a handicrafts teacher at one of the region’s elementary schools. During her time at the girls’ school, she had also taken evening classes in porcelain painting. In 1937 she applied to Hackefors’ porcelain factory in Linköping where she became employed as a pattern designer. Hertha Bengtson was interested in all aspects of the factory and when the men were called up for military service at the outbreak of the Second World War, she became head of her department at age 22. Hertha Bengtson wanted to create her own porcelain. She applied to and became employed at Rörstrand’s porcelain factory in 1941, where she started as a pattern designer but quickly became a master designer. Hertha Bengtson’s ability to combine beauty with function was fundamental to her success as a designer. Her breakthrough came with the innovative blue-and-white tableware...
