ABOUT PRODUCTID 19
The 'Reptil' vase, designed by Stig Lindeberg for Gustavsberg in the 1950s, features an organic, bulbous silhouette with a gently tapering neck and a broad, rounded base. Crafted from ceramic and finished in a matte, pastel light blue glaze with a cool undertone, it draws the eye with its distinctive, embossed geometric texture covering the entire surface. The reptile-inspired pattern is regular and tactile, lending the vase a slightly grainy feel that catches and diffuses light. Each detail is executed with precision, and the Gustavsberg signature on the base attests to the authenticity and high-quality craftsmanship characteristic of this Swedish manufactory during the Scandinavian modernist era. Condition: excellent, with no visible damage or restoration—glaze is intact, free of chips or cracks.The 'Reptil' vase reflects the narrative of 1950s Swedish design, where simplicity met textural experimentation. Its subtle hue evokes memories of a cool Baltic morning, while the embossed pattern seems to whisper stories of nature’s inspiration that defined the period. Form and surface engage in a quiet dialogue, as if the ceramic has absorbed the Scandinavian landscape—raw, yet refined in its expression.In an interior, this vase could be displayed solo on a light wood console or sideboard to emphasize its delicate color and tactile surface. It would also pair well with other mid-century ceramics or softly tinted glassware, creating a gentle interplay of textures. Spaces styled in mid-century modern or contemporary minimalism would benefit from its organic form and strong detail, especially alongside neutral textiles or simple, geometric furnishings.
