Pair of Carl-Harry Stålhane Rapsodi (Rhapsody) Series Swedish Mod Vases for Rorstrand, 1957

PLEASE NOTE: This item is only available exclusively for pickup at our Oakville location.

This pair of iconically Swedish mid-century modern vases was designed by Carl-Harry Stålhane (b. 1920 - d. 1990), one of the most renowned ceramic artists of quintessential Swedish ceramic design in the 20th century.

These pieces come from the Rapsodi (Rhapsody) series, which were decorated by hand to give each piece a unique touch. The simple form features the textured, radial design on its front and back, which makes the vases invite touch as well as being reversible for display. The variations of the Monochrome colour palette as well as the striking palette of Ink black, Lime green, Cobalt blue and Aubergine purple are a rare find. What makes them an even rarer find is the damage-free condition both pieces are in.
