Scandinavian studio pottery vase by Krukmakaren Ystad, featuring a structured ribbed form with a vivid red glaze that contrasts against a matte brown stoneware body. A strong example of Swedish mid-century ceramic work, combining functional form with sculptural presence.

The design balances vertical rhythm and material contrast: the glossy red glaze gathers in the recessed bands, while the upper rim and base remain muted and tactile. This interplay suggests a controlled studio process, where glaze thickness and firing create subtle tonal variation rather than uniform colour.
