The Enigmatic Flower Vase That Appears to be Flat: Spotlight on "Marianne Halberg," the Florist's Daughter Turned Ceramicist

A Mysterious Work That Looks Like a Plane＊

While I was scrolling through Instagram, I came across a mysterious vase.

This is a work by the ceramic artist Marianne Hallberg, and it has the appearance of something drawn on a flat piece of paper, but the flowers displayed are undeniably three-dimensional, real ones.

For a moment, you might feel confused wondering “What’s going on??”...!

A Piece Made by the Daughter of a Florist.

The mysterious vase is created by ceramic artist Marianne Hallberg, who was born in 1952 as the daughter of a florist in Höör, Sweden.

Her works are characterized by unique pieces that seem to fuse 2D and 3D, with sketches drawn on a flat surface that rise up in a three-dimensional way.

(It feels like a 2D café...!)

Many Works Featuring Vases♡

Marianne Hallberg has a variety of works, including tableware and dish towels, but she has many different types of flower vases. (Perhaps this is because she was born as the daughter of a florist??)

◆ Floral Vase

◆ Perfume Bottle Vase

◆ Water Bottle Vase

◆ Lamp & Cord Vase

◆ Bear and its Shadow Vase

◆ Checkered Vase

◆ Nail Polish Vases (Round & Square)

The vases range from 7,700 yen to 33,000 yen.

(There is a line of original pottery made in Sweden and a mass-produced line in collaboration with Seto pottery in Japan＊)

These would be a delightful gift for a friend who loves flowers♡
