Søholm

Stoneware Vase from Søholm, Bornholm by Noomi Backhausen & Paul Brandborg

Danish stoneware with mottled glaze

£77.00

VAT included. Sold under the margin scheme for second-hand goods — no VAT is shown separately.

This characterful cylindrical vase from Danish Søholm carries a rustic charm. The upper, slightly flared section is decorated with an eye-catching mottled glaze where deep blue tones meet earthy brown and beige shades. The rough texture of the stoneware gives the piece a tactile and lively feel. A beautiful example of Scandinavian ceramic art that looks just as great on its own as filled with a bundle of dried flowers. The model is numbered 3607 and is part of the Erika series, designed around 1971 by the artist duo Noomi Backhausen and Paul Brandborg.

The story of this object

Søholm Keramik was founded in 1835 on Bornholm and became one of Denmark's oldest ceramic factories before closing in 1996. During the mid-20th century, they produced stoneware that became highly appreciated for its high quality and distinct, robust glazes.
