Large Brown Ceramic Vase – Gunnar Nylund – Rörstrand

A large vase designed by Gunnar Nylund at Rörstrand. The vase are 33 cm (13,2″) high. The vase was given as a gift to employees at a Swedish company and that is why it´s graved below, someone has erased that though. The vase is 2:nd quality but I cannot see anything wrong with it. The vase is in mint condition except from the erased graving below.
