"Mermaid & Sea Dragon", Exceptional Art Deco Vase w/ Silver Overlay, Gustavsberg
About the Item
This large and impressive vase by the Gustavsberg porcelain works in Sweden is rare for two reasons -- first, the detail of the silver overlay, showing a nude mermaid riding a fierce sea dragon, is especially fine; and second, the silver ring around the neck of the vase indicates the date (1946) and original owner (Erik Lindstedt) of the piece. The vase was commissioned by the Älvsborg's Läns company, located near Gothenberg on the west coast of Sweden, and given to Lindstedt just after World War II ended. The green-turquoise glaze is vivid and lush, and the silver is gorgeous. The vase is well marked on the bottom as well.
