Condition
Overall excellent condition. The decorative stylized face scheme continues on both sides of the vase and is articulated in relief. The rim with a subtle undulation which is inherent in the design. Glaze coloration to the exterior with great depth of color. The interior of the vessel with minor surface dirt and some slight dulling to the surface of the glaze from use. Please note, this lot is being sold with a 1998 Gansevoort Gallery exhibition catalogue titled "The Nordic Modern Movement: Masterworks in Glass, Ceramics, Silver and Wood".
