This stunning pottery vase was created by the ceramics company of P. Ipsen in Copenhagen, Denmark, founded in the 1840's by Peter Ipsen after he worked for the firm of Royal Copenhagen. It was hand painted in the Jugend (Art Nouveau) style, reflecting the surrounding natural world.
Made of stoneware clay, the vase has a green standing lip, with the green merging into a golden orange sky, against which are set in relief rolling green hills, a flying bird and a structure that's been called a burial mound (although it reminds us of the standing stones at Stonehenge in England). The golden orange covers the inside of the vase as well. This matte glaze style is known as their “Dekorativglasur” (Decorative Glaze), which became extremely popular and immediately recognizable as Ipsen's Skønvirke {beautiful work}.
Peter Ipsen died in 1860; the company was continued by his wife Louise and it became known as "Ipsen's Enke" (Ipsen's Widow in Danish). The mark on the bottom, impressed into the clay, consists of a crown over the initials PIE (Peter Ipsen Enke) and the model/catalog number 426. This mark was used beginning in 1918 and continued until the company closed in 1955. After the turn of the century, Ipsen's employed prominent artist/designers such as Arne Bang, Georg Jensen and Axel Salto. This vase was made in the 1920's to 1930's.
The piece is 9 1/2 inches tall, has a 3 1/4 inch mouth, measures about 7 inches across at the shoulder with a 3/14 inch diameter base. It weighs a sturdy 3 pounds and is in absolutely excellent condition, with no damage and only slight wear to the green glaze on the bottom of the foot ring (shown). Ipsen's won 35 medals for their technical and artistic achievements and this vase is an outstanding example.
