About Grog/Chamotte:
Grog, also known as chamotte, is a raw, granulated material added to clay to enhance its workability. In ceramics, grog is often produced by firing clay, then grinding it into a powder. This partially-fired bisque or fully-fired vitrified ceramic is then smashed up and powdered, adding texture and resilience to the clay body. In Bengtson's vases, chamotte clay lends a sturdy form and distinctive texture, complementing the earthy tones of the glazes.
Artistic Inspiration:
Hertha Bengtson's "Klitt" series captures the essence of mid-century Scandinavian design, combining brutalist aesthetics with naturalistic forms. The wide, low drum form of these vases, coupled with their wide cove necks and mouths, reflects Bengtson's innovative approach to ceramic design, making them timeless pieces of art for any interior setting.
A must-have for collectors of Scandinavian modern design, brutalist art, or mid-century ceramics, these Hertha Bengtson vases offer a unique blend of form, function, and artistic expression. Whether displayed individually or as a set, they are sure to add a touch of Scandinavian elegance to any space.
