Made by Birgitta Lind at Lillterrsjö Keramik in Ångermanland, Sweden, this double-handled vase belongs to the celebrated Hällristning series, inspired by the ancient rock carvings found at Nämforsen, one of Scandinavia‘s most important Bronze Age petroglyph sites.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThe body is wheel-thrown in a swirling marbled clay, a mix of cream, sand, and dark brown that mimics the layered rock face of the carvings themselves. Applied sgraffito figures of a reindeer and moose family are scratched through a reddish slip, giving them that prehistoric feel. Two flat strap handles sit on opposite sides, and the glaze is lead-free (blyfri glasyr, as stated on the original label still intact on the base). Signed by Birgitta on the base.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nA collector‘s piece with real provenance and a story.
