Svenskt Tenn Vase, Swedish Grace style Stockholm, Sweden, 1931 Pewter, engraved decoration

This pewter vase embodies the refined elegance of the Swedish Grace movement, a distinctive Nordic interpretation of Art Deco that flourished in the 1920s and early 1930s. Produced by Svenskt Tenn in Stockholm, the piece displays the restrained ornamentation and stylised floral motifs characteristic of the style, balancing classical influences with modern simplicity. The finely engraved decoration and the sculptural pierced base demonstrate the exceptional craftsmanship for which Svenskt Tenn became renowned. Designed during a period of Swedish cultural confidence, such objects reflect the country’s embrace of high-quality decorative arts rooted in national identity yet engaged with international modernism.
