Modernist Swedish Pottery Jug or Handled Vase by Gunnar Nylund for Rörstrand Up for auction is an elegant 1950s jug or handled vase designed by Gunnar Nylund for Rörstrand. Gunnar Nylund (1904-1997) Ceramist Gunnar Nylund was equally active in Sweden and in Denmark but is best known for his work at Rörstrand. He was trained as an architect in Copenhagen in the 1920’s, but his greatest influences in the early years were his parents, his mother a Danish ceramist and his father a Finnish painter and sculptor. After 5 years at Bing & Gröndahl in Copenhagen he started his own workshop, Saxbo, together with Danish ceramist Natahalie Krebs.Nylund experimented with forms, Krebs with glazes. After an exhibition in Stockholm 1930, Gunnar Nylund was discovered by Rörstand and remained with this firm as one of its leading designers until 1958. In later years he worked on a freelance basis for both Rörstrand and Strombergshyttan. It measures just under 10" with a canted lip and smoothly applied handle. The pottery features a mottled white glaze with speckles of cream and gray. The glaze extends to the inside of the mouth. Front view: Rear view: The vase is incised by hand on the base with: R [for Rörstrand], three crowns, Sweden, and G.N. Condition: Excellent vintage condition with no damage.

Send me a Message! (1) Feedback: I greatly value both my customers and my 100% Feedback Rating for over 11 years. I work hard every day to provide accurate listings, multiple photographs, careful packing, fair shipping and fast and friendly communication.I leave feedback promptly upon payment and ask that buyers return the courtesy upon receipt of your item so I can be assured it has arrived and you are happy! I strive to ALWAYS earn 5 stars in every feedback category, So please contact me first if you have any concerns, and I will do my best to make it right. (2) Handling Fee: I add a very modest handling fee which only partially covers a considerable investment in time and materials. This is already included in the calculated rates shown. The fee does not in any way offset the rising eBay listing and commission fees, nor the PayPal transaction and commission fees ( 4 separate seller fees on EVERY eBay listing). All of these are invisible to the buyer , but take a very substantial bite out of our modest profits. My shipping fees are up-front and transparent. I try to offer more than one method where possible. (3) Insurance: eBay now holds the seller responsible for safe delivery of all items, regardless of whether they are insured. As a result, we can no longer afford to make insurance "optional" on valuable or fragile items. The shipping/handling fee now includes insurance. INTERNATIONAL BUYERS: Custom Forms must declare the exact value of the contents, (excluding shipping.) Buyers are responsible for all customs duties and we are not allowed to mark your item as a "gift". IMPORTANT INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING INFORMATION: Due to multiple problems with international shipping, with customs, and also with some foreign buyers, we regret that we will now use ONLY Express Mail International to ship fragile or valuable items. Express Mail is the only service that offers FULL TRACKING to the buyer's address. Even if insured, we are not reimbursed for shipping charges if an item is lost, damaged or stolen, and we have lost far too much money from buyers who claim not to have received their items. Items can be delayed for weeks in customs, over which we have no control. The buyer meanwhile gets a full refund, and if the item finally arrives, we are never notified. Hence, we must now require Express Mail International Insured with full tracking for our valuable and/or fragile items. read more
