"Swans and Cygnets, " Important Art Deco Covered Jar by Nylund, Sweden
About the Item
One of the most ambitious Art Deco pieces in the "Flambe" style we have seen, this covered jar was designed by Gunnar Nylund for Rorstrand pottery in Sweden in the 1930s. Glazed in rich, gorgeous slate blue and ivory glazes edged with gold, this piece shows a swan with her cygnets on one side, and a pair of swans on the other. The overall piece has a magnificent lid crowned with a sunburst or flower motif, and delightfully curvy, foliate handles. Before he became known for his organic forms and mottled glazes in the post-World War II period, Nylund designed a line of very Fine Art Deco pieces in what he called a "flambe" glaze: rich browns or blue-grays highlighted with gold. Nylund worked for Rorstrand from 1931 to 1958.
