Lot 273: A Swedish Mid-Century Modern Studio Pottery Vase, Marked Valla

A Swedish Mid-Century Modern studio pottery vase, marked ‘VALLA’ to the base. The ceramic vessel features a tapered body and an irregular, organic rim. Its exterior is adorned with a textured surface, characterized by vertical, incised or raised striations in dark brown-black over a lighter, possibly cream-colored ground, creating a visually tactile effect. The base is further marked with ‘511/9’ and what appear to be artist’s initials, confirming its Swedish origin.
