Scandinavian Modern Squared & Fluted Brass Vase By Gunnar Ander for Ystad-Metall
Located in Grythyttan, SE
This mid-century vase, designed by Gunnar Ander for Ystad-Metall, exemplifies Scandinavian Modern design from the 1960s. Made of brass, the vase features a distinctive squared and conical shape, resting on a circular base. The design is enhanced by three vertical flutes on each side, adding subtle detail to its clean lines. Handcrafted in Ystad, Sweden, it bears the engraved markings "Ystad-Metall" and "MADE IN SWEDEN" on the underside, confirming its authenticity. This vase is a fine representation of the craftsmanship and aesthetic principles of its time. ABOUT GUNNAR ANDER Gunnar Ander (1908–1976) was a Swedish designer known for his artistic talent and significant contributions to Scandinavian design. Born in Lidköping, Ander showed early promise, illustrating for a local newspaper as a teenager before studying at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Stockholm. In the late 1940s or early 1950s, he joined Ystad-Metall, where he created some of the company’s most iconic designs, particularly his brass candle holders, which remain highly sought after today. Ander also worked for Lindshammar Glassworks and was a key designer at Scandia Present...

Antique, New and Vintage Vases and Vessels

For thousands of years, vases and vessels have had meaningful functional value in civilizations all over the world. In Ancient Greece, ceramic vessels were used for transporting water and dry goods, holding bouquets of flowers, for storage and more. Outside of utilitarian use, in cities such as Athens, vases were a medium for artistic expressionpottery was a canvas for artists to illustrate their cultures’ unique people, beliefs and more. And pottery skills were handed down from fathers to sons.

Every antique and vintage vase and vessel, from decorative Italian urns to French 19th-century Louis XVI–style lidded vases, carries with it a rich, layered story. 

On 1stDibs, there is a vast array of vases and vessels in a variety of colors, sizes and shapes. Our collection features vessels made from delicate materials such as ceramic and glass as well as durable materials like rustproof metals and stone.

A contemporary vase can help introduce an air of elegance to your minimalist space while an antique Chinese jar would make a luxurious addition to an Asian-inspired interior. Alternatively, if you’re looking for a statement piece, consider an Art Deco vase crafted by Italian architect and furniture designer Gio Ponti.

Vases and vessels — be they handmade pots, handblown glass wine bottles or otherwise — are versatile, practical decorative objects, and no matter your particular design preferences, furniture style or color scheme, they can add beauty and warmth to any home. Find yours on 1stDibs today.
