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.

19th Century Russian Ruby Red Glass Vase with Gilt Bronze Mounts
Located in Stockholm, SE
A highly decorative and unusual large ruby red vase with a gilt and silvered bronze stand. The gilt and silvered bronze base with three sturgeons. Possibly of Russian origin and made in the late 19th century. The cut glass vase lifts off the bronze base. It holds water and is in perfect condition.
Sturgeon is one of the oldest bone fishes still in existence and the oldest fossils found date back the Early Jurassic period, some 174 to 201 million years ago. There are 28 different type of sturgeon species. Sturgeons are native to subtropical, temperate and sub-Arctic rivers, lakes and coastlines of Eurasia and North America.
Sturgeons are long-lived and can get very large, the largest sturgeon on record was a beluga female captured in the Volga Delta in 1827, measuring 7.2 m (23 ft 7 in). Several species of sturgeon are harvested for their roe, which is processed into the luxury food caviar like the beluga caviar.
Beluga caviar is caviar consisting of the roe...
