Monumental Column Vase
Grey and Red Glaze

£7,000

Description:

A monumental stoneware column-shaped vase made and designed in Denmark by K H Wurtz. 

This column-shaped vase by the Danish ceramic studio gently tapers towards the base and top, creating a cigar-shape which optically enhances the monumental stature of this impressive piece. Glazed in a rich grey and red glaze, two colours which coalesce into shades of maroon, this vessel is truly testament to the complexity of the Danish studio's glazes. 

Kasper Würtz runs a ceramicists studio based near Horsens in eastern Jutland, Denmark. Known internationally for their hand-thrown and hand-glazed ceramics they have produced bespoke collections for distinguished fine dining restaurants around the world. Würtz crockery can be found at Geranium and Noma in Denmark, Törst, and Luksus in the US and L’Enclume and The Ledbury in the UK.

Ceramics by Würtz are usually made of stoneware, occasionally of porcelain. Their aesthetics are inspired by both Nordic utilitarian crafts and 20th century British studio pottery; their practice involves traditional wheel-turning and glazing methods.

The visual language developed by Wurtz is recognisable in a number of features such as the assured inner-outer ratio of every piece, the subtle concavity even in the flattest plates and the glazed surface in which matt and shine areas alternate harmoniously.
