Quatrefoil Vessel by Just Andersen
An early work by Danish master Just Andersen, this sculptural vessel is cast in his proprietary diskometal—a moody alloy of tin, lead, and antimony developed for both strength and elegance. The quatrefoil form and footed base lend a quiet gravitas, while the gentle curves soften its presence into something nearly botanical. The petite scale makes them feel personal, almost ceremonial, while the asymmetry of wear and the textural traces of time only enhance their sculptural presence. Marked “Just D24” at the base, it carries both historical weight and visual poetry, equally at home on a shelf of collected forms or cradling blooms on a tabletop.
