Large Swedish Ceramic Vase / Table Lamp Base by Vicke Lindstrand & Upsala Ekeby

Large Swedish Mid-Century Modern white ceramic table lamp base / vase designed by Vicke Lindstrand for Upsala Ekeby. The form of the piece is elegantly conceived; it is tapered and fluted. The under glaze of the white exterior has burnt reddish tones which come through along the edges and give the piece depth and warmth.

Bente Hansen Organic Shaped Vase, 2001
Located in Valby, 84
Rare and important organic vase by Danish ceramic artist Bente Hansen from 2001 from a batch of 100 pieces this model has number 49 out of 100. This vase is the perfect center piece for any style of interior and fits all style from the typical Scandinavian style of interior to a more modern style of interior to a wabi sabi style of interior. From the earliest youth, Bente Hansen's life and work have contained one obsession: clay, the ceramic form and process of creation. This passion has made her an internationally renowned ceramist whose works are loved by ceramic lovers and collectors of unique items worldwide. Bente Hansen grew up in modest circumstances, as the youngest of two sisters. The father was a trained fine mechanic and worked for the fire service. In the last days of the Occupation, he died in an accident. The mother got work as an office assistant at Gentofte Town Hall and looked after the two daughters until she met engineer Julius Tscherning Jensen in 1950, who became her partner. He added to the home an interest in modern Danish furniture design, music and art, just as he took Bente Hansen to museums, not least on trips to Southern Germany and Austria. During a visit to the maternal grandparents, who lived at the Agricultural College's garden on Frbg. and had a summer house in Avedøre, Bente Hansen's interest in nature and budding life developed. A teacher who was also a painter and sculptor sparked her interest in shaping. From the age of 12-13, she modeled after classic pictures and sculptures and worked with ceramics, where the inspiring role model was Axel Salto. In 1960, Bente Hansen began to study ceramics at the School of Crafts under the demanding leader Richard Kjærgaard...

Antique and Vintage Vases for Sale

Whether it’s a Chinese Han dynasty glazed ceramic wine vessel, a work of Murano glass or a hand-painted Scandinavian modern stoneware piece, a fine vase brings a piece of history into your space as much as it adds a sophisticated dynamic. 

Like sculptures or paintings, antique and vintage vases are considered works of fine art. Once offered as tributes to ancient rulers, vases continue to be gifted to heads of state today. Over time, decorative porcelain vases have become family heirlooms to be displayed prominently in our homes — loved pieces treasured from generation to generation.

The functional value of vases is well known. They were traditionally utilized as vessels for carrying dry goods or liquids, so some have handles and feature an opening at the top (where they flare back out). While artists have explored wildly sculptural alternatives over time, the most conventional vase shape is characterized by a bulbous base and a body with shoulders where the form curves inward.

Owing to their intrinsic functionality, vases are quite possibly versatile in ways few other art forms can match. They’re typically taller than they are wide. Some have a neck that offers height and is ideal for the stems of cut flowers. To pair with your mid-century modern decor, the right vase will be an elegant receptacle for leafy snake plants on your teak dining table, or, in the case of welcoming guests on your doorstep, a large ceramic floor vase for long tree branches or sticks — perhaps one crafted in the Art Nouveau style — works wonders.

Interior designers include vases of every type, size and style in their projects — be the canvas indoors or outdoors — often introducing a splash of color and a range of textures to an entryway or merely calling attention to nature’s asymmetries by bringing more organically shaped decorative objects into a home.

On 1stDibs, you can browse our collection of vases by material, including ceramic, glass, porcelain and more. Sizes range from tiny bud vases to massive statement pieces and every size in between.
