For your consideration: A lovely petite vintage Art Pottery vase created by Nils Thorsson for Royal Copenhagen's art studio ceramics workshop. Super smooth "soft" glaze in shades of dark green/gray with browns showing through the glaze in some ways similar to the sought after "haresfur" style popularized by Saxbo and others. The number on the bottom refers to the shape; each piece made had a unique hand created glaze.
Very few of these were made, and on the rare occasion I have... seen any offered for sale at auction, the price realized has often been in the 500+ Euro range, IF you can find one for sale, at all — even for such a small piece. Highly sought after by collectors!
Signed: Three wavy lines of Royal Copenhagen with DENMARK, stylized NT initials incized (faintly visible in detail photo) + shape number 20957 on the bottom.
It measures about 2 3/4" (70mm) tall by 2 5/8" (67mm) in diameter.
Provenance: This piece has been in our personal collection of artifacts since my aunt's death in 1997; she was the original owner. The piece has been well cared for in our smoke free home; it is in perfect condition with no chips, scratches or other damage, essentially "as new."
Dates to about the early 1960's (maybe late 1950's?); the glaze is really beautiful and "soft, " as is typical of mid-century Danish art pottery. Very rare opportunity to acquire one of Thorsson's finest original (not mass produced) art pieces!
NOTE: This will be shipped via PRIORITY MAIL, both to the USA and overseas. If you're an international buyer, duties and taxes are 100% YOUR responsibility!
We are just individuals selling our stuff; not "dealers!" We are thinning out some of our rather extensive collection of home decor, original art, art books, catalogues, antiques, old stamp collections and other collectibles. The kids have left home and have expressed that they are "not interested" and we are basically "downsizing" and simplifying our lives. This is an ongoing process that will last many months (years?)... hope our treasures find good homes and enjoyment elsewhere; we have loved having them, but now they need new happy homes!
