Stoneware vase from the 1970s by Paul Envalds for Arabia

This 1970s stoneware or schamotte vase was crafted by renowned artist Paul Envalds for Arabia where he worked from 1964 to 1974. Made out of durable stoneware, this vase is a timeless addition to any home decor. It measures 18 cm.

Paul Envalds (born 1945 in Helsinki) is a celebrated Finnish ceramicist known for his sculptural stoneware crafted during the late 20th century. After completing his studies in ceramics at Aalto University’s School of Arts, Design and Architecture in 1971, Envalds went on to create exquisite hand-thrown works under his own studio in Seutula.

Envalds’s designs are deeply rooted in modern Nordic aesthetics—rich in organic forms, earthy textures, and artisanal detail. His elegant vases and bowls, often signed “PE” or stamped "Studio Envalds Finland," were made in the 1970s and reflect a harmonious blend of simplicity, sophistication, and timeless appeal. Collectors highly value his pieces today for their sculptural beauty and authentic craftsmanship, which continue to resonate in contemporary interior design circles.
