Pair of Mid-Century Ceramic Vases by Carl-Harry Stålhane for Rörstrand, 1950s

A beautifully balanced pair of ceramic vases designed by acclaimed Swedish artist Carl-Harry Stålhane for Rörstrand, each individually marked (“SAH” and “SHG”), indicating distinct production runs during the 1950s. Though differing in height, the two vases share a cohesive design language—gently sculpted forms with subtle tapering and poised silhouettes that reflect Stålhane’s mastery of proportion and his signature restrained approach to design. Known for his innovative exploration of glazes and nature-inspired shapes, Stålhane is regarded as one of the leading figures of Scandinavian studio ceramics. These two pieces complement one another effortlessly, presenting as an elegant asymmetric pairing suitable for styling together or displayed individually.

** Price is for both vases.

Dimensions:

Shorter vase:

Height: 10.5 cm.
Diameter: 7.5 cm.

Taller vase:

Height: 17.5 cm.
Diameter: 6 cm.

📌 Condition:
Excellent vintage condition on both vases. No chips, cracks or repairs observed. Minor age-related crazing may be visible under close inspection, in line with the material and period.

🧡 Why It Stands Out:
Presented as a curated duo from one of Sweden’s most celebrated ceramic designers, these vases offer a refined balance of sculptural form and artistic provenance. Their variation in scale adds visual interest when styled together, while their harmonious aesthetic allows them to function equally well as standalone decorative accents. Marked original works by Carl-Harry Stålhane, these pieces represent a highly collectible moment in mid-century Scandinavian design.
