A spectacular Fajance (tin-glazed earthenware) vase designed by Nils Thorsson (1898-1975) and produced in the 1960s under the Baca line at Royal Copenhagen, Denmark. The vase has a complex and highly-detailed pattern depicting spectacular Mid-Century Scandinavian designs. The yellow-colored matte glaze has a light relief with various marks of light gray that make this Fajance vase even more unique.
This vase is stamped with Nils Thorssons' signature mark and the mark of Royal Copenhagen. It is also hand-numbered, "723/3208".
As noted in Pamono:
"Thorsson’s work as a designer varied greatly theamatically, from the naturalistic featuring birds, fish, and butterfly motifs, to the abstract and geometric. During his time at Royal Copenhagen, Thorsson was the factory's most prolific designer, designing at least five of the best known production ranges for the company including Solberg (1930s); Marselis (Alumina, 1950s), which was an elegant, yet affordable line for everyday use; Tenera (1960s); Baca (1960s), which features highly detailed and complex relief patterns; and Diana (1970s), as well as many other pieces in glazes that are lesser known and harder to find on the vintage market. Both the Baca and Tenera Series featured forms designed by Thorsson himself, while other were a team effort. Objects and patterns by Thorsson are marked with his cypher on the base.
Thorsson passed away in 1975 in Copenhagen. Today, his mid-century earthenware designs are coveted by collectors and vintage lovers alike."
The vase is approximately 7" H, 4" W, and 3" D. The mouth of the vase is approximately 1.25" D. less
