About the Item

A small Chinese double-gourd vase, handcrafted in China, circa 1960s. Finished in a rich oxblood red glaze, known as sang de boeuf, this piece embodies both Chinese tradition and artistry. The double-gourd shape, long associated with longevity, protection, and prosperity, is a recurring motif in Chinese ceramics, often linked to Daoist symbolism. The striking sang de boeuf glaze, developed during the Kangxi period (1662–1722), was highly prized for its deep crimson hue—symbolizing good fortune, joy, and imperial prestige. Achieved through a complex copper-based firing technique, it remains one of the most celebrated finishes in Chinese porcelain. Measuring 7 cm in diameter and 12.5 cm tall, this vase is in very good condition for its age and use. The base bears a blue-stamped apocryphal reign mark, paying homage to historical Chinese craftsmanship.

Smoked Glass Bud Vase by Arthur Percy for Gullaskruf, Sweden, Mid-20th Century
By Gullaskruf, Arthur Percy
Located in Glasgow, GB
A mid-century smoked glass bud vase by Arthur Percy for Gullaskruf Glasbruk, Sweden, circa 1950s–60s. This modernist solifleur vase is crafted in warm brown glass with a soft translucence, featuring a spherical base and elongated tapering neck—an elegant study in proportion and restraint typical of Scandinavian glass design from the period. Arthur Percy, a pivotal figure in 20th-century Swedish decorative arts, served as artistic director of Gullaskruf from 1952 and brought a refined, architectural sensibility to the glassworks’ production. His solifleur vases, such as this example, were designed not only to function as stem vases but also to sit sculpturally within minimalist interiors—characteristic of the era’s design ethos. Standing approximately 18 cm tall and 10 cm in diameter, this vintage Swedish vase is a collectible example of mid-century modern glassware. In very good condition with no chips or cracks; minor surface wear to the base consistent with age and gentle use. A considered addition to any collection of Scandinavian glass or modernist decorative objects.
