Pair of Vessels by Just Andersen
Early Danish Modernism in Sculptural Form. Crafted between 1918–1929 by renowned Danish designer Just Andersen, these small vessels exemplify the quiet elegance and material innovation of early 20th-century Scandinavian design. Originally intended as cigarette holders, they now read as poetic sculptural objects—petite but strong in presence. Each features Andersen’s signature model D23 silhouette: six-sided, with flared rims and tapering bases, forming a geometric bloom that feels simultaneously architectural and organic. They are cast in Diskometal, Andersen’s proprietary alloy known for its soft luster and warm, muted patina—a material both modern and mysterious, exclusive to his studio practice. Time has brushed their surface with subtle marks and mellow oxidation, only deepening their character. Whether used for flowers, incense, or simply admired for their form, they lend a quietly collected feel to any vignette.
