**Work Overview**
This is a highly iconic vase designed by Gunnar Nylund, a master of Swedish ceramics, for Rörstrand.
Due to its distinctive spiky texture, it is affectionately known as the "Hedgehog" among collectors worldwide. It is a masterpiece representing the "Chamotte" series produced from the 1940s to the 1950s and is considered one of the icons of Nordic Mid-Century design.
**Features and Appeal**
* **Texture:** The unique texture, achieved by mixing in chamotte (coarse sandy clay), conveys a sense of handmade warmth and strength.
* **Design:** The organic, rounded form is adorned with intricate spike detailing, creating a captivating piece that changes its expression with the play of light.
