This hand-thrown fat lava vase from Alingsås Keramik in Sweden carries the particular warmth that mid-century Scandinavian studio pottery does so well. The rich, textured glaze moves through deep red and burnt orange tones, darkening to a brown rim and settling into a soft grey base — a glaze journey that rewards close attention. Embossed circular motifs ring the body, giving it a tactile, sculptural quality that photographs well but feels even better in hand.

Signed and stamped Model 393 – Handgjort (handmade) to the base, this is the kind of marked, documented piece that collectors of Swedish ceramics actively seek out.
