Striking “Hedgehog” vase by Gunnar Nylund, made in chamotte stoneware. The clean form contrasts with the craggy surface. Vibrant green glaze. The model was introduced around 1937 and became a great success. It was made with clay mixed with discarded shards of stoneware from Rörstrand’s furnaces. Nylund himself described it like this: “It is like an aspect of nature is reflected in this rugged, mystical surface”.
