About the Item

Vintage Danish Modern pottery vase features a streamlined elongated form with rounded body, wide shoulder, and narrow opening. The vase is decorated with wide bands of abstract geometric pattern on the widest part of the body and on the rim and neck area, and the bottom is accented with stepped vertical lines in the same off-white glaze. The semi-matte chocolate brown background glaze juxtaposes the slightly glossy, painterly off-white glaze, and the choice of earthy, organic brown and white palette elevates the minimally shaped piece. The vase is marked on the bottom with Soholm Bornholm and the initials SJ in writing in glossy glaze against the brown background. Classic, timeless Scandinavian Modern form with strong Organic Modern influence will make the vase a great gift to a collector or a design enthusiast and a perfect addition to a wide range of interior styles, from Traditional to Eclectic, Transitional, Mid Century Modern, Collected, Scandinavian Modern, Japandi, Organic Modern, or Contemporary. Soholm Pottery was one of the largest and longest surviving potteries on the island of Bornholm, Denmark; it was founded in 1835 and closed in 1996. Several well-known designers worked at Soholm in 20th century, including Noomi Backhausen, Paul Brandborg, Rigmor Nielsen, Maria Philippi (worked at Soholm in 1962-1964), Svend Aage Jensen (worked at Soholm in 1944-1980), Gerd Hjort Petersen (who also worked at Michael Andersen and Royal Copenhagen), Einar Johansen (worked at Soholm in 1958-1966), Josef Simon, and Per Rehfeldt, among others.

Lee Levy Multi Spouted Vase, American Studio Pottery
Located in Clifton Springs, NY
Vintage ceramic bud vase features sculptural multi spouted shape and stunning textured drip glaze in earthy, organic brown palette. The gradation glaze color and abstract graphic pattern of the main decor emphasize the soft, rounded shape of the vase; the use of shades of brown, from dark espresso to mocha to off-shite cappuccino, creates rich and varied, but monochromatic palette that does not overpower the complex form and shape of the vase. The vase is signed on the bottom with LEE, that was Lee Levy customary signature; it is not dated, but the style of the piece is consistent with her Mid-Century Modern pieces created in 1960s-1970s. Leah "Lee" Levy (1922 - 2011) was an established pottery artist based in Upstate New York area. She was born in Pinsk, formerly in Poland, now in Belarus, and moved to the United States in 1929, growing up in Brookline, Massachusetts. She and her husband Irving started their first pottery studio in Long Island, New York, in late 1940s, while training at the Alfred University School of Ceramics alongside with some of the foremost artists and craftsman in America. Since 1946, Alfred University in Alfred, New York was a home for School for American Craftsmen, with the faculty that included Edwin Blanchard Brown, Ernest Frank Brace, Laurits Eichner, Philip Morton, Charles Reese, Ethel Mitchell, Robert Savage, Thomas Mclure, and most importantly for Levy, the renowned ceramists Linn Phelan and Herbert Sanders...
