Agnes Fries has designed the Agnes Vase Collection for Normann Copenhagen. This is a simple and contrasting range of vases that have been decorated with intense black brush strokes. I love the contrast between the fine white porcelain and the black brush strokes that gives them a raw and graphic feel. I believe that one of these beautiful vases will move in with me soon!

The vases are white with black graphic hand painted strokes applied to the top of the vase. This means all the vases are slightly different and gives them all their own unique personality. The Agnes vases are available in seven different sizes and are all beautiful pieces either with or without content. Use one vase by itself, place several different sizes together or create your own look by combining the Agnes vase with other vases from around the home.

Agnes Fries grew up in an artistic home that was full of canvas, paint and brushes. When in China, she learned how to paint so that the brush strokes stand out clearly by using calligraphy as her starting point. Both experiences have served as sources of inspiration for the Agnes vase.

The Agnes vases became a part of the Danish Crafts Collection in 2012 due to the high quality of craftsmanship and Agnes Fries’ originality of work with the material.
