The vase features a beautifully rounded, sculptural form with horizontal brass bands encircling the body, creating a refined contrast against the richly mottled green and brown patinated surface. The patina has developed depth and variation over time, enhancing the vase’s organic and architectural character. A small engraved inscription is present on one side, subtly integrated into the design and consistent with the period. The base is stamped with the maker’s mark, confirming its origin. This piece exemplifies the high level of craftsmanship and material quality associated with swedish metalwork of the early 20th century, blending elements of art deco and nordic modernism. A strong decorative object, equally compelling as a standalone sculptural piece or as part of a curated collection of scandinavian design.
