Description
Fantastic art nouveau vase by Danish pottery artist (Hans Christian) Christian Joachim for the terra cotta pottery Ipsen's Widow (Ipsens EnkeI). Read more about the factory below. Christian Joachim designed this vase in 1909 and it also appeared in the Ipsen catalog in 1915, so the vase is made within this period. It is marked PIE for P. Ipsens Enke and with the form number 617. Signed PIE with two stribes over that indicates that this vase is second choice.
The vase is modeled with a slightly raised relief motif of the most wonderful mushrooms and glazed with the for P. Ipsen's Widow typical orange, brown and green so called Parrot Glaze.
Chr. Joachim (Hans Christian Joachim) 30.10.1870-24.11.1943 was a Danish painter and ceramist. As a six-year-old, J. lost his right arm in a road accident and had to practice to only use the left. Despite his disability, he studied at the technical school. In 1887 he attended the art academy and graduated as a painter in 1892. He debuted in 1893 at the Danish art exhibition Charlottenborg with a self-portrait and in 1898 he exhibited a symbolic painting, Easter morning, at another Danish exhibition called Den Frie (The Free). The year before, he and academy colleague Danish renown silversmith Georg Jensen started experimenting with ceramics; together they established a primitive workshop with an oven where Joachim undertook the technique, while Georg Jensen took care of the actual design in clay. They successfully exhibited their stoneware in Paris in 1900, but the cooperation ceased when Joachim, the following year, was linked to the Aluminia faience factory. Here he created - from 1902-06 - in a rivalry with the Danish painter Harald Slott-Møller - an art faience production whose artistic and economic success over the next 25 years is comparable to the underglaze painting at the Royal Porcelain Factory.
From 1911, Joachim became Artistic Director of Aluminia and, from 1922, also Artistic Director of the porcelain department. He received a grand prix at the World Exhibition in Paris in 1925 and ceased his job in 1933.
Chr. Joachim also worked for Ipsens Widow where he designed this vase.

We want everybody’s Vinterior experience to be seamless, so both buyers and sellers can fall in love with pre-loved. We designed our Terms of sale to treat everybody fairly.
However, sometimes things don’t go exactly to plan, and you may need to cancel or return an order.
To prevent this, we encourage you to check listings, photos and descriptions carefully before you buy. If you aren’t sure about a piece’s condition, size, provenance or shipping, just ask; click Contact seller to get in touch. Always contact your seller first if you have any queries, at any point in your purchase.
Our buyers receive the same protection when buying from all our sellers, both professional and verified.
Can I cancel an order?
There are many reasons why you might need to cancel an order, and you'll often be entitled to a refund. To cancel an order, click Create cancellation on the order page.
If you cancel your order before it has been dispatched, you will receive a full refund - including delivery costs. However, if your item has been shipped, delivery costs will not be included in your refund.
Please note: orders of bespoke, personalised or made-to-order pieces cannot be cancelled.
Can I return an order?
We understand that sometimes a piece isn’t the perfect fit. So if you no longer want your order, our returns process will ensure it finds a new home fast.
The Vinterior Guarantee included with your purchase entitles you to 14-day returns - allowing you to return any item within 14 days of the delivery date (except in specific circumstances, detailed below).
You can return your order if...
It isn't what you expected
If what arrives isn’t what you ordered, you can open a return. Just send us some photo evidence that the listing was inaccurate, misleading or misrepresented your purchased piece, and you’ll receive a refund.
You change your mind
If you don’t feel a piece is right for your space, you can return it. Once you request a change of mind return, you’ll be responsible for shipping the piece back to your seller as soon as possible. Delivery costs are non-refundable.
It's damaged in transit
In the rare event that an item arrives damaged or defective, you have a full 30 days from the date of delivery to return it for a full refund.
If your purchase arrives broken, always let us know. If Proovia delivered the piece, we can raise an insurance claim on the seller’s behalf. Or, the seller can raise a claim with their chosen courier.
What can't I return?
Just as there are some orders you can’t cancel, there are some you cant return, too. Personalised, bespoke or made-to-order pieces are non-returnable, and non-refundable. Sellers may also reject your return if the item has been altered in any way.
Please note: pieces on our site are pre-loved, not new. They may show some wear and tear; this is not sufficient grounds for a refund, unless the seller has misrepresented the item’s condition.
Lastly, neither Vinterior nor our sellers are liable for any damages or loss sustained in transit via third parties.

To initiate a return, log into your Vinterior account, then go to the relevant order page and click Create a return. In the return request, be sure to include all the details: the reason for your return, an in-depth description, and photos of any issues or damage.
How will I receive my refund?
Once the seller confirms they’ve received the item (in the same condition it was sent), we will send your refund to your original payment method.
All items are inspected on return. If the seller receives the return with damage they don’t recognise, we will not be able to process your refund and the seller may need to send the piece back to you. You will be required to cover these delivery costs.
