Camouflage Vase by Michael Andersen & Sons, Denmark, c. 1916-1920

Exceptional and rare vase from the famous "Camouflage" series, attributed to Daniel Folkmann Andersen (1885-1959) for Michael Andersen & Sons, Bornholm, Denmark. The vase seduces with its fascinating surface design: a fine network of relief partitions creates an organic cloud-like pattern. This recalls both the camouflage patterns of World War I and the design language of the artist Jugendstil Thorvald Bindesbøll, whose influence is clearly perceptible here. The different fields are glazed in shades of gold and green, applied using bright and radiant brush strokes. Hand-turned in stoneware, created in Denmark around 1916-1920. Early marking: "153" (without visible MA&S logo). This early three-digit marking rather than the usual four suggests it could be a rare prototype or pre-series piece. Condition: Very good - minimal signs of age-related wear, no visible cracks or restorations. An exceptional collector's item from the early modern period uniquely embodying the link between Nordic craftsmanship and avant-garde design.
