About the Item
This copper jug, crafted by B. Beskow in 1908 in Eskilstuna, Sweden, is a remarkable example of ancient Nordic Viking design. The jug features a robust, tapered cylindrical form with horizontal bands accentuating its structure, giving it a sense of solidity and strength. The lid is domed with a pointed finial, adding a touch of elegance. A striking feature is the ornately designed handle, shaped like a mythical sea serpent or dragon, reflecting the ancient Nordic fascination with mythological creatures and very much looks alike the dragon heads the Viking ships had mounted on them. The handle is intricately detailed, showcasing scales, twists, and curled ends that enhance its dramatic appearance.
The jug's body is adorned with an engraved coat of arms in gold and blue, adding to its historical charm. The patina on the copper surface hints at its age, with greenish hues adding character. This piece is a decorative art object that reflects the Nordic artistic heritage and Beskow’s amazing craftsmanship.
His works are represented in several Museums in the world, for example the Swedish National Museum and the Columbia Museum in Chicago.
