Ceramic vase by Inger Persson for Knapstrup Keramik Denmark 1960s.

About the Item

This 1960s ceramic vase by Swedish ceramist Inger Persson for Knapstrup Keramik in Denmark is an exquisite example of mid-century Scandinavian ceramics, where form, color, and surface texture come together in a harmonious, organic aesthetic. Known for her work that balances modernity with a touch of the organic, Persson brings a unique vision to this piece through her mastery of shape and glaze. The vase features a subtly asymmetrical, square form that is softened by gentle, diagonal contours, leading the eye from one side to the other. This elegant shape exemplifies the mid-century Scandinavian design ethos, where simplicity is enriched by unexpected details and a deep respect for natural forms. The small, narrow neck provides a delicate counterpoint to the bolder, square body of the vase, creating a pleasing contrast that adds to its visual interest. The glaze, a spectrum of warm brown to lighter, earthy tones, brings a tactile richness to the vase. Its small imperfections reflect the hand-crafted quality of Knapstrup ceramics, embodying the studio’s dedication to the artisanal process. These slight variations in the glaze add depth and movement to the surface, making each angle of the piece slightly different in hue and texture. This glaze technique gives the vase a rustic, almost organic character that pairs beautifully with its modern, geometric form. Crafted by Knapstrup Keramik, a prominent Danish pottery known for its mid-century modern ceramics, this piece reflects the studio's high standards of quality and its contribution to Scandinavian design heritage.
