A rare and elegant Art Deco vase designed by renowned Danish artist Just Andersen (1884–1943), identified as Model D18. Featuring a distinctive scalloped silhouette, elegant flared body, and graceful curled side handles, this vessel embodies the refined craftsmanship and modernist sensibility that made Andersen one of Denmark's most celebrated decorative artists.

Produced during the late 1920s to 1930s, the vase is cast in Andersen's proprietary Disko metal a unique alloy of pewter, lead, and antimony named after Disko Bay in Greenland, where the designer spent part of his youth. The material's rich charcoal-gray patina and subtle luster give the piece remarkable depth and character.

Its architectural profile and organic detailing make it equally compelling as a planter, cachepot, wine cooler, or standalone decorative object. Today, Just Andersen's Disko metal works are increasingly sought after by collectors of Scandinavian design, Art Deco metalwork, and early twentieth-century decorative arts.

Collectors Notes

The larger D18 model is particularly versatile for display. Use it as a cachepot for small plants, as a vessel for cocktail picks on a bar, or as a sculptural centerpiece on a bookshelf or desk. The combination of Art Deco geometry and Scandinavian restraint makes it feel surprisingly modern nearly a century after its creation.

It's a fitting addition to our Home Decor collection, and a versatile Wedding Gifts pick.

Who Are You Buying From?

Every object here has a journey before it ever reaches you. I've spent years seeking these pieces out, in back rooms of old ateliers, from families who've inherited more than they can keep, through dealers I've come to trust, in conversations with people who still work with their hands, because I've always believed the things we choose to live with should carry something true. What began as a private obsession became a devotion, one I now share with my wife and daughter, who remind me daily that the best collections are the ones built to be passed down, not simply owned. What you're holding isn't just an object. You're inheriting its story, and becoming part of its next chapter.
