The present work is a unique variation of the Sprouting Style vase designs Axel Salto created for Royal Copenhagen. In his 1949 book Den spirende Stil, Salto describes these works as expressing movement or growth, writing, ‘the vase is like a living organism; the body buds, the buds develop, and a sprouting—even prickly—vessel results from the urgency of life within’. The present sprouting vase is an experimental and unusually large example, which notably features combined nodes, alongside the single nodes that typically comprise these vessels in the Sprouting Style. Additionally, the work features a vivid emerald green glaze, not known in any other example of Salto’s work for Royal Copenhagen.
