Here is a rare and highly expressive stoneware vase designed by Gunnar Nylund for Rörstrand, Sweden, dating to the 1930s–1940s. Executed in Nylund’s celebrated flambé glaze, the surface reveals a nuanced palette of warm oxblood, tobacco, and softly mottled ivory tones, creating a luminous, atmospheric ground.What distinguishes this example is its finely rendered narrative decoration. The vase is encircled by delicately incised and softly shaded figural scenes—stylized figures in motion, along with deer within a wooded landscape—handled with a distinctly Scandinavian modernist sensibility that balances whimsy and restraint. The imagery is integrated seamlessly into the form, wrapping the vessel in a continuous, story-like composition.The form itself is classic Nylund—full-bodied with a gently tapering neck and subtly flared rim—accented by banded detailing at the lip and foot. The interior retains a rich, darker glaze, providing a striking contrast to the lighter exterior.The underside is fully marked, including “Flambé,” “Rörstrand,” “Nylund,” and “Made in Lidköping, Sweden,” along with decorator’s marks and model number, confirming authenticity and period production.Condition is very good, with no chips, cracks, or repairs. A small dark mark visible within the glaze appears inherent to the firing process and consistent with the spontaneity of flambé techniques.An exceptional and uncommon example of Nylund’s work—combining sculptural form, painterly surface, and narrative decoration—representing a more elaborate and artistic direction within his production for Rörstrand.
