About the Item

A refined and sculptural mid-century stoneware vase designed by Arthur Andersson for Wallåkra Stenkärlsfabrik, Sweden, circa 1950. This elegant hand-thrown piece embodies the quiet sophistication of Scandinavian Modern design, featuring a beautifully proportioned bottle form with a gently flared neck and rounded body. The surface is finished in a rich, earthy brown glaze with subtle speckling, creating a deep, tactile presence that shifts beautifully under light. Vertical incised motifs rhythmically encircle the lower body, lending a sense of movement and organic structure, while a band of finely carved detailing at the shoulder adds contrast and craftsmanship. The glaze softly pools within the carved lines, enhancing depth and emphasizing the handmade quality. Marked to the underside “Wallåkra – Made in Sweden”, confirming its authenticity. Arthur Andersson’s work at Wallåkra is celebrated for its balance of form, texture, and material integrity—hallmarks of Swedish studio ceramics in the mid-20th century. A versatile decorative object that works equally well as a standalone sculptural piece or as a vessel for a single stem.
