Created 1931 (e8) for the prestigious guldsmedsaktiebolaget (gab), this piece exemplifies the streamlined elegance and modernist ethos that would go on to define scandinavian design worldwide. Expertly crafted in a limited production period, the vase’s bold, spherical form is strikingly contrasted by its sculptural, geometric handles — a hallmark of arström’s visionary approach to industrial design. The surface bears the subtle, hand-finished patina of aged pewter, adding to its authenticity and timeless appeal. As both a decorative object and a design artifact, this piece holds significant historical and artistic value. Arström’s early collaborations with gab are increasingly scarce on the market, making this vase not only a sophisticated interior accent, but a worthy investment for collectors of nordic design. This piece is attributed to the mentioned designer/maker. It has no attribution mark and no
official proof of authenticity,
however it is well documented in design history. I take full responsibility for any authenticity
