About the Item

This exceptional Danish Modern vase represents the pinnacle of Eva Stæhr-Nielsen’s artistic vision—where form is reduced to its purest, most expressive state. Every curve is considered, every proportion intentional, resulting in a piece that radiates quiet confidence and sculptural clarity. Finished in a satin flammé glaze, the surface reveals subtle, shifting tonal variations—at once understated and complex. This nuanced glaze, a hallmark of Saxbo’s technical innovation, highlights the vase’s silhouette without distraction, offering a tactile richness that invites closer engagement. Founded in 1929 by Nathalie Krebs and Gunnar Nylund, Saxbo became one of Denmark’s most influential ceramic studios, known for its modernist stoneware and experimental glaze work. Eva Stæhr-Nielsen joined in 1932 and remained the workshop’s principal designer for nearly two decades. Her work helped define the studio’s legacy, characterized by minimalist forms paired with refined surface treatments. A timeless piece of Scandinavian design—elegant, balanced, and masterfully understated. Ideal for collectors, stylists, or interiors with a reverence for form and material.
