About the Item
This rare brass vase, designed by Pierre Forssell and produced by Skultuna in Sweden during the 1950s, exemplifies the fusion of functional design and sculptural artistry characteristic of Scandinavian modernism. The vase presents a cylindrical form topped with an intricate crown-like rim, featuring evenly spaced, raised spherical elements. This detailed silhouette adds a dynamic and tactile quality to the piece, contrasting with the smooth surfaces of the main body.
The brass has developed a natural patina over time, enhancing the depth and character of the vase. This aged finish emphasizes the material’s warmth and richness, underscoring the craftsmanship and quality associated with Skultuna, one of Sweden’s oldest and most respected brass foundries, established in 1607.
Pierre Forssell’s design approach is evident in the vase’s minimalist yet refined aesthetic, where clean lines meet artistic detailing. The piece balances decorative appeal with practical form, allowing it to function both as a vessel and a statement object within an interior setting.
Measuring 11 cm in diameter and 17.5 cm in height (approximately 4.3 by 6.9 inches), the vase’s proportions are compact yet striking, making it a distinctive example of mid-century Swedish metalwork and design.
