Mid-century modern pottery jug or vase by Gunnar Nylund for Rörstrand, Sweden, 1960s. An extraordinary, rare and rather large hand-made vintage ceramic vase known as "ASR", designed by the very talented Gunnar Nylund for Rörstrand. What makes this vase so special is that even though it has a very simple design, it has the most elegant and sophisticated appearance. This is due to the craftsmanship needed to produce such quality and iconic ceramic objects, together with the incredible glazing in a harpsichord glaze technique with a beautiful warm brown color and hints of amber or orange. All in all, a stunning and elegant vase, a piece of art with a modern feel. It can also function as a jug. This is a rare studio production, signed and marked. It is 30 cm high and around 10 cm in diameter and in excellent condition.
