About the Item

This very rare footed vase attributed to the Swedish top-designer Sonja Katzin, and produced by Stjärnmetall (Stjärnkvist Metall AB), is painted in a striking sage green and gold. The vase's mouth and foot are adorned with a gold color, while the rest is painted in the art deco characteristic sage green. This vase features a captivating scene depicting children playing in water, a sailing boat, cows wading, fish, a man sitting and fishing, birds, a barking dog, a flower, and a horse kicking backward, all rendered in relief. Produced by Stjärnmetall (Stjärnkvist Metall AB), this piece is painted in a striking sage green and gold. It is stamped with "Stjärmetall Made in Sweden,". Dating back to the 1940s, this art deco vase showcases the distinctive style of Stjärnmetall, a company originally named Stjärnkvists Metall AB, which was acquired by Nils Johan at the end of the 1930s. The metal used is likely a zinc alloy, featuring a beautiful green and gold paint. This vase is attributed to designer Sonja Katzin, as there were two notable designers associated with Stjärnmetall. Gunnar Åkerlind was known for his classic, empire-style designs, while Sonja Katzin worked in a more Art Deco modernist style. Katzin's innovative approach is reflected in this piece, showcasing her unique aesthetic. The vase is heavy, about 1 kilo.
