We are thrilled to spotlight this gorgeous vintage stoneware vase by the highly regarded Danish artist Helle Allpass (1932-2000). Her monumental, sculptural pieces are incredibly sought after and prized by mid-century collectors worldwide.
Originally trained as an architect, Allpass was a true trailblazer in the Danish ceramics scene, known for pushing the boundaries of scale and form. While she occasionally dabbled in experimental glassware for Holmegaard, her legacy is firmly rooted in her groundbreaking pottery.
This substantial, hand-thrown vase features an exceptionally beautiful glaze that catches the light with a slightly metallic sheen. Standing an impressive 280mm tall with a wide mouth, it is absolutely ideal for displaying large, dramatic blooms like proteas or the banksias we love to style it with!
(Condition note: There is one minute, hard-to-find flake to the glaze on the rim. More detailed photos of this are available on our website).
Available to view in-store or online. 🌿
