This refined and sculptural piece exemplifies the elegant modernism that defined Swedish design in the early 20th century. The vase features a beautifully tapered body articulated with five stepped ridges, rising to a softly flared rim. Its clean, architectural form is contrasted by a highly distinctive base composed of stylized fish-form supports—an expressive and uncommon detail that introduces a subtle organic and almost whimsical character to the design. Crafted in solid pewter, the surface displays a rich, naturally aged patina that enhances the depth and tonal variation of the metal. The combination of geometric clarity and decorative symbolism reflects the unique design language of Svenskt Tenn, where functional form meets artistic expression. Both sculptural and functional, this vase stands as a compelling decorative object on its own, while also appealing to collectors of Scandinavian Art Deco and Swedish Grace. A rare and collectible example from one of Sweden’s most influential design houses, distinguished by its unusual fish motif and refined silhouette.
