Stoneware Vase by Jytte Trebbien, Denmark, 1970s
Sculptural stoneware vase by Danish ceramicist Jytte Trebbien, produced during the 1970s.
The vase features a compact architectural form with softly rounded edges and a narrow square opening. The deep dark glaze reveals subtle variations of brown, black and blue-green tones that shift beautifully depending on the light. The surface combines glossy and slightly textured areas, giving the piece a rich tactile quality characteristic of Scandinavian studio ceramics of the period.
Jytte Trebbien is known for her restrained yet expressive ceramic work, often balancing simple geometric forms with nuanced glazing and handcrafted irregularities. This vase reflects that approach particularly well, combining a strong sculptural silhouette with a quiet material presence.
Despite its modest dimensions, the piece has a substantial and almost architectural character, functioning equally well as a vase or as a standalone decorative object.
