VAT included. Sold under the margin scheme for second-hand goods — no VAT is shown separately.
A characterful cylindrical vase from Norwegian Arol Keramik, belonging to the Saga series. The surface features a deeply textured, bark-like finish in muted shades of green, grey, and black. The rustic shape is further highlighted by deeply incised, black-filled symbols evocative of Viking-age and Old Norse runes. A striking ceramic piece that well represents the expressive and nature-inspired design ideals of the 1960s.
