  • Midcentury Stoneware Vase by Gunnar Nylund for Rörstrand, Sweden, 1940s
    By Gunnar Nylund, Rörstrand
    Located in Stockholm, SE
    Neat stoneware vase by Gunnar Nylund, in a drop form. Glazed eggshell white over a subtle graphic pattern. Gunnar Nylund was one of the most influential ceramicists and designers of the Swedish mid-century period. He was Rörstrand’s creative leader from 1931 until 1949 and as such propelled the artistic work at the factory and served as mentor to younger artists, among them Carl-Harry Stålhane and Hertha Bengtsson. Nylund was a dedicated functionalist, who brought ideas of democratizing stoneware and creating beautiful, qualitative and affordable everyday items for the people to Rörstand in the mid-1920s. The factory had at the time lost its former leading market position, but Nylund’s efforts gave it a great reboot. He designed ceramic kitchenware...
