About the Item

A grand Scandinavian Modern urn with amazing off white crackle glaze. Designed by Eva Jancke-Björk for Bo Fajans, Sweden, 1940s. This urn (model 3428) was in production 1943-1951. Great condition. Makers marks on base of vase. Documented on page 601 in the book Swedish Modern by Hedvig Hedqvist, 2018. Eva Jancke-Björk (1882–1981) was a pioneering figure in Swedish design, whose multifaceted career spanned ceramics, textiles, and graphic design. Educated at the Royal Swedish Academy of Arts, her work is celebrated for its innovation and aesthetic depth, contributing significantly to the development of early 20th-century Scandinavian design. Among her most notable contributions are her textile designs for the Swedish Pavilion at the 1925 Paris Exposition, which showcased her ability to blend traditional Swedish motifs with modernist sensibilities. Jancke-Björk's designs for the NK (Nordiska Kompaniet) department store's textile department further cemented her reputation, particularly her avant-garde fabric prints that harmoniously combined function with artistic expression.
