About This Piece

Vintage Design

This iconic "Kokos" (Coconut) vase was designed by the renowned Swedish ceramicist Hjördis Oldfors for Upsala-Ekeby in 1954. It is a quintessential piece of Scandinavian Mid-Century Modern design.
The vase features a spherical, organic form with a distinctive matte dark brown exterior. Its surface is decorated using the sgraffito technique, with fine vertical hand-etched lines that reveal the contrasting light clay beneath, mimicking the texture of a coconut. The interior is finished with a vibrant, glossy yellow glaze, creating a striking visual contrast.
Produced for only a short period between 1954 and 1958, pieces from the "Kokos" series are highly collectible and celebrated for their timeless, modernist aesthetic.
