Vintage Ceramic Vase by Tilgmans Keramik | Sweden, 1960s

An expressive vintage art pottery vase made in the 1960s by Swedish ceramics manufacturer Tilgmans Keramik.

The vase stands out for its sculptural form and rich, hand-crafted relief, featuring elements of Scandinavian Modernism and Brutalist design. Its central section is adorned with a striking, vertically grooved texture that lends the piece an architectural character.

The flowing glaze in warm, nature-inspired earthy tones — rich brown and moss green — creates a distinctive mood. The transitions between shades and the textured relief highlight the vase’s craftsmanship and make it a unique piece of Scandinavian vintage design.

The base of the vase retains the original maker’s mark “Tilgmans Sweden” and model number 105, confirming its origin.

With its sculptural form and striking glaze, the vase makes an elegant accent in minimalist Scandinavian, modern, retro or eclectic interiors. It looks beautiful both filled with flowers and as a standalone decorative art piece.

Condition: excellent vintage condition.
