A beautiful, matching graduated pair of vintage Art Deco stoneware vases designed by the celebrated ceramicist Gertrud Lönegren (1905–1970) for the renowned Swedish manufacturer Rörstrand.
Produced between 1936 and 1941, these exceptional pieces perfectly encapsulate Scandinavian Art Deco elegance.
The vases feature a classic bulbous, ribbed lower body that elegantly transitions into a tall, fluted neck. They are finished in a stunning dual-tone matte/semi-matte glaze, showcasing warm earthy terracotta, ochre, and beige gradients. The look is completed by two striking, geometrically stylized loop handles in a dark charcoal tone, providing a powerful contrast.
Finding these vases as a graduated pair is rare and highly desirable for mid-century modern collectors and interior designers alike.
Large Vase: Height 19 cm / 7.5 in, Diameter 11 cm / 4.3 in
Small Vase: Height 15 cm / 5.9 in, Diameter 9.5 cm / 3.7 in
Designer: Gertrud Lönegren

Both vases are structurally in excellent vintage display condition, with no chips, cracks, or restorations.
The larger vase is completely clean underneath. The smaller vase shows typical age-related crazing (fine hairline glaze lines), restricted entirely to the unglazed base inside the bottom rim. This is a natural aging process for Rörstrand pieces of this era, is completely stable, and does not affect the outer display quality or beauty of the piece.
Please examine all photographs carefully, as they form an important part of the description.
