About the Item
This 1960s stoneware vase, designed by Danish ceramicist Einar Johansen for Søholm pottery on the island of Bornholm, is a refined example of mid-century Danish ceramics.
The vase is constructed from a matte brown stoneware base, offering a rich, tactile surface that reflects the earthy tones so often associated with Danish ceramics. This matte finish gives the piece an organic feel, evoking the rugged landscape of Bornholm, where Søholm has produced ceramics for centuries.
One of the vase’s standout features is the repetitive decorative motif that encircles its beige-toned neck. This rhythmic decoration, executed with precision, introduces a layer of subtle ornamentation that contrasts with the otherwise simple form of the vase. The decoration enhances the piece’s overall balance, adding a sense of movement while not overwhelming the clean lines of the form. The beige tone of the neck transitions smoothly from the matte brown base, creating a visual gradient that highlights Johansen’s sensitivity to color and material.
Inside the vase, Johansen introduces a striking element of surprise with the application of a rich, inviting blue glaze. This deep blue hue contrasts beautifully with the matte and earthy exterior, providing a sense of depth and vibrancy that draws the viewer’s eye inward. The glaze, smooth and reflective, creates a visual dialogue between the interior and exterior surfaces, emphasizing the interplay between form and finish that is so characteristic of Johansen’s work. The choice of blue also evokes the surrounding seas of Bornholm, where the meeting of land and water often influenced the work of local artisans.
Produced by Søholm, one of Denmark’s oldest and most respected ceramic manufacturers, this vase represents the high-quality craftsmanship for which the company was renowned.
In excellent condition, this vase has been well-preserved, with both its matte and glazed surfaces intact.
