About the Item

This vase is a unique piece of ceramic art, made in Denmark in the 1940s by Ipsens Enke, a renowned Danish producer of art ceramics. The vase features a beautiful gradient of colors, transitioning from a warm orange to a deeper green at the base, creating a nature-inspired ambiance. The most striking detail is the three-dimensional figure of a lizard climbing up the side of the vase. The lizard's texture and intricate detailing are highly realistic, and its expressive position adds a dynamic visual effect. Above the lizard, there is a detailed figure of a spider, creating a dramatic scene between the animals on the vase's surface. This piece reflects Ipsens Enke's high quality and artistic approach to ceramic design, where nature motifs were often incorporated into functional objects. The vase combines both decorative and practical features, making it an excellent example of Danish craftsmanship from the mid-20th century.
