ABOUT PRODUCTID 11114
This small vase, designed by Sven Jonson for Gustavsberg in Sweden and dating from the 1960s, exemplifies the Scandinavian mid-century modern approach. Its form is based on a rounded rectangle with gently tapered sides and an oval opening, highlighting balanced, compact proportions. Crafted from high-quality ceramic, the vase is finished in a deep black glaze with a subtle, warm sheen. The front features a precise, fine white line forming a stylized peacock—an interplay of geometric and organic motifs typical of Swedish design from the era. The surface is smoothly polished, evenly reflecting light. A signature on the base confirms its authenticity. The vase is preserved in excellent condition, free from visible damage, chips, or signs of use. This piece carries the quiet voice of 1960s Scandinavia, a time when functionality was paired with restrained ornamentation. Its slender silhouette and poised peacock motif recall interiors where every detail mattered, and where light played across glossy ceramics, revealing depth and softness. It is an object that speaks of craftsmanship, the precision of the artisan’s hand, and an appreciation for subtle yet distinctive form—as if to say, “one well-drawn motif can tell an entire story.” The vase may be placed on an oak sideboard in the living room or on a minimalist shelf, where its dark color and white drawing contrast with a light background and natural daylight. It works well as a stand-alone decorative accent, but can also be paired with other period vessels or simple, raw ceramics to create a collector’s arrangement. Interiors in mid-century modern, Scandinavian simplicity, or contemporary minimalist styles will allow it to resonate fully; a single branch or delicate flower can be added to highlight the organic nature of the motif.
