Gulvase



I've been collecting Holmegaard Carnaby vases for a few years now but have recently started buying the red cased Gulvases designed by Otto Brauer in 1962. The Gulvase (floor vase) comes in 5 different heights, the smallest being 25cm right up to the largest at 50cm . There are 2 variants of the cased reds, Ruby which is the darker of the 2, produced in the early 60s and then Coral, produced from 1967 until the early 80s.
These vases are all handmade and so vary in thickness and colour. Factory seconds often have two parallel lines scratched into the bottom, but all that i've come across have unique irregularities, which i think adds to the appeal.
