About the Item

A set of 2 beautiful Scandinavian Modern ceramic vases with amazing glaze. Designed by Eva Jancke-Björk for Bo Fajans, Sweden, 1930s. This model was in production 1938-1943. Excellent condition. Makers marks on base of vase. 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.

Set of 2 Stoneware Vases by Hertha Bengtson. Rorstrand, Sweden, 1950s.
By Hertha Bengtson, Herta Bengtson, Rörstrand
Located in Malmö, SE
Set of 2 beautiful stoneware vases with amazing glaze. Made by Hertha Bengtson for Rörstrand, Sweden, 1950s. Excellent condition. Signed 'Bengtson' / 'HB' and 'R' för Rörstrand. Hertha Bengtson (1917-1993) is one of the well-known representatives of the illustrious Swedish ceramic design of the 20th century. She was one of the leading designers for the Rörstrand factory in the 1950s. Bengtson is represented at the Swedish National Museum of Art and Design. Hertha Bengtson was born in Ysane in Blekinge and grew up on a farm with her four brothers. Her parents were Henning and Asta Bengtson. Her father was a jack-of-all-trades and ran both a mink farm and a shop alongside his farm, which was the least of his interests. Her mother, to whom Hertha Bengtson was very close, was a skilled weaver. Hertha Bengtson's interest in textiles and handicrafts came from her mother. From her grandmother she inherited Scanian country textile knowledge and from her grandmother’s neighbour she learned to tat the Scanian way, without patterns. Upon completing her education at a girls’ school, Hertha Bengtson wanted to become a drawing teacher. However, there was no money to continue her formal education. Hertha Bengtson achieved top marks in drawing and handicrafts and therefore gained a place as a handicrafts teacher at one of the region’s elementary schools. During her time at the girls’ school, she had also taken evening classes in porcelain painting. In 1937 she applied to Hackefors’ porcelain factory in Linköping where she became employed as a pattern designer. Hertha Bengtson was interested in all aspects of the factory and when the men were called up for military service at the outbreak of the Second World War, she became head of her department at age 22. Hertha Bengtson wanted to create her own porcelain. She applied to and became employed at Rörstrand’s porcelain factory in 1941, where she started as a pattern designer but quickly became a master designer. Hertha Bengtson’s ability to combine beauty with function was fundamental to her success as a designer. Her breakthrough came with the innovative blue-and-white tableware...
