Lillemor Mannerheim Singoalla Series Sculptural Moon Flask Vase, 1950s
PLEASE NOTE: This item is available exclusively online.
This striking and sculptural work of 1950s Swedish Modernistic design is by Lillemor Mannerheim (b. 1927- d. 1994). Mannerheim was a countess, ceramicist, and illustrator who designed this Singoalla vase for Gefle Keramiks, together with a number of her other well-known series such as Kulisaner, Dixie, Labyrint, Mambo, and Pärlor.
This elegant work from the Singoalla series features its characteristic gently swelling moon flask form together with the rich, semi-matte Onyx black glaze called Mangania. Many of Mannerheim's most popular series were glazed in Mangania. On both faces of the vase is a beautifully integrated Pale Lapis blue foam-glaze design worked into the silky Mangania.
The combination of the form, glaze and Modernistic accents gives the overall piece an otherworldly and stylistically timeless presence. And yet the design of this piece is completely suited to the Atomic Design period that it's from, when space exploration and futuristic influences were at the forefront of world news.
