About this piece
The Rumba vase has a slender neck and a rounded body. The surface is richly textured, with a raised white glaze that you can feel as well as see.
Sweeping black and grey forms mingle with orange, yellow and soft pink accents. They give the decoration a lively rhythm. The appeal lies in the interplay of sculptural shape, colour and texture.
The base is marked 1126, Rumba, Flora, Gouda, Holland. Three small chips to the rim remain visible. Otherwise the vase is in good condition. It belongs in our "Damaged, but worth keeping" collection.
Condition
- Three small chips to the rim, (small) chip in the body
