"Nudes with Falcons, " Masterful Art Deco Covered Jar by Nylund for Rorstrand

About the Item

The largest "Flambe" piece we have ever offered, this covered jar with female nudes accompanied by falcons and leafing trees was designed by Gunnar Nylund for Rorstrand pottery in Sweden in the 1930s. Glazed in rich, gorgeous brown and tan glazes edged with gold, this piece has a crown-shaped lid and curving shoulders. Before he became known for his organic forms and mottled glazes in the post-World War II period, Nylund designed a line of very Fine Art Deco pieces in what he called a "flambe" glaze: rich browns or blue-grays highlighted with gold. Nylund worked for Rorstrand from 1931-1958.
