Mid Century Danish Ceramic Vase, 1940

About the Item

Ceramic vase from the 40s. With a hand-painted abstract pattern, it has a rounded base that tapers slightly towards the top, ending in a small circular opening. The surface is predominantly white, with designs in shades of blue and green, made up of curved shapes reminiscent of biological or geographical patterns. The texture of the vase shows marks of time, with worn and scraped glaze. The use of fluid brushstrokes and smudged edges gives the decoration an almost watercolour effect, contrasting with the well-defined contours in intense blue. This piece reflects the decorative style of the time, possibly influenced by modernism, and is a unique example of artistic design.
