Melina Xenaki Wheel-Thrown Tapered Cylinder Vase. Lino-cut decoration on matte white ground. Cycladic / bronze-age style horse & abstract motifs. Signed MX to base. One of a short exhibition run produced for. Tent London Design Fair, 2016. A leading platform for emerging and established designer-makers. Not a general production piece. A confident, tall cylinder vase in off-white stoneware with a deliberately raw, matte surface. Printed in a high-impact dense black and decorated with stylised Cycladic horse and sun motifs. The reverse carries a striped chevron pattern. Design characteristic of Xenaki’s archaeological sensibility, drawing directly from Bronze Age visual language and her Greek heritage. Melina Xenaki trained at UCA Farnham (BA, first class honours) and the Royal College of Art (MA). Now working from her native Greece, Xenaki is a well-regarded, exhibited artist whose career is in full flight. She is commissioned in high-end architectural collaborations and has designed ranges for the shops of the British Museum and Benaki Museum. Please note this is a functional wheel-thrown studio piece – not a hand-built sculptural gallery edition – and is priced accordingly. Approx dimensions: 26.2cm H, 8.3cm W (base), 7.5cm W (top rim). This will be carefully packed and posted promptly with full tracking. I endeavour to accurately describe and photograph any flaws I detect in the interests of transparency. Please bear in mind that my objects are pre-owned and vintage pieces (sometimes older still) and as such a certain amount of normal wear is to be expected. Thank you for looking, and why not check out my other listings!

Axella Stoneware Relief Vase – Danish Modern Studio Pottery, Denmark, 1960s. A compelling example of Danish modern ceramics from the 1960s, this sculptural stoneware vase was produced by Axella, one of Denmark’s most distinctive pottery workshops of the period. Characterised by its restrained form and richly textured surface, the piece reflects the Scandinavian commitment to material honesty, craftsmanship, and quiet sophistication. The cylindrical body rises into a slender neck, creating a balanced architectural silhouette that is both functional and sculptural. What distinguishes this vase, however, is its remarkable surface decoration. Applied relief elements in the form of vertical ribbing and circular medallion motifs introduce a strong graphic quality, lending the piece an almost Brutalist expression. The composition recalls abstract wall reliefs and modernist architectural ornamentation, transforming the vessel into an object of considerable visual presence. The glaze palette further enhances this effect. Earthy tones of warm terracotta, charcoal brown, smoky grey, and cream flow across the surface in nuanced transitions. The layered glazes create a mineral-like appearance reminiscent of weathered stone, oxidised metal, and volcanic landscapes. The interplay between the matte stoneware body and the glossy, lava-like glaze effects exemplifies the experimental spirit that defined much Scandinavian ceramic production during the mid-century period. Founded in the 1960s, Axella specialised in artistic stoneware distinguished by bold relief decoration and expressive glaze combinations. Their production occupies an interesting position between Danish studio pottery and decorative art pottery, appealing equally to collectors of Scandinavian design and enthusiasts of Brutalist ceramics. Finish: Matte body with contrasting glossy glaze effects. Colour: Terracotta, charcoal brown, smoky grey, cream. Decoration: Applied geometric relief motifs and vertical ribbing. Markings: Impressed “AXELLA” factory mark and model number 1607 to the underside. Height: 24 cm. Width: 9.5 cm. Depth: 9.5 cm. Opening Diameter: 4.5 cm. Very good vintage condition. No chips, cracks, or restorations observed. Minor firing irregularities, glaze variations, and traces of age are inherent to the production process and consistent with the character of vintage Scandinavian stoneware. Why This Piece Stands Out. Authentic Danish stoneware from the 1960s. Produced by the sought-after Axella pottery workshop. Striking Brutalist-inspired relief decoration. Sophisticated volcanic glaze effects with strong material presence. Combines sculptural impact with timeless Scandinavian restraint. An excellent addition to collections of Nordic ceramics, studio pottery, and mid-century design. With its architectural silhouette, tactile relief decoration, and earthy glaze palette, this Axella vase embodies the distinctive language of Danish ceramic design in the post-war decades. Equally effective as a functional vessel or a standalone sculptural object, it brings depth, warmth, and understated drama to contemporary interiors.
