a refined and sculptural lidded bowl produced in sweden by ståko (stålkompaniet ab ståko), embodying the quiet sophistication and material intelligence of mid-century scandinavian design.

the form is elegantly composed—almost architectural in its balance—where the warmth of solid teak meets the precision of polished brass. The body is beautifully turned, revealing a rich, flowing grain, while the elevated structure rests on three slender brass legs terminating in spherical feet. The domed lid, crowned with a matching brass finial, completes the composition with a sense of symmetry and restraint.

objects of this kind move beyond pure function; they operate as small-scale sculptures within an interior. Whether placed on a coffee table, console, or desk, the piece introduces a tactile and visual richness that is distinctly scandinavian—subtle, warm, and quietly expressive.

measuring 11.5 cm (4.53 in) in height and 14 cm (5.51 in) in diameter, the proportions are compact yet impactful, making it ideal as a decorative container for jewelry or small objects, or simply as a standalone design piece.

produced during ståko’s most relevant period in the 1950s–60s, this example reflects the brand’s strongest output, where craftsmanship and material contrast were given priority over overt ornamentation.

presented in excellent vintage condition, with only minimal wear consistent with age and careful use. This piece has an attribution mark,
