Cast in bronze with a rich patinated finish featuring dark green and bronze tones, the piece showcases a graceful mermaid as its central support, creating both functional elegance and sculptural drama. Mounted on a stepped square base, this bowl exemplifies Swedish Grace—Sweden's distinctive interpretation of Art Deco that emerged in the 1920s-30s, blending the geometric modernism of the Art Deco movement with softer, more classical Scandinavian sensibilities. This refined fusion of international style and Nordic restraint makes it a striking centerpiece for any curated interior.

with its generous proportions, the bowl is large enough to serve as a fruit bowl or centerpiece, though it's equally compelling displayed as a purely sculptural accent. The piece remains in great vintage condition with only very minor surface wear consistent with age. Marked "Ystad Brons, Sweden" (Ystad Metall's designation for their bronze pieces).
