"Merman Playing the Harp", Rare Art Deco Vase with Silver Overlay by Gustavsberg
About the Item
The Argenta line of ceramics created by Wilhelm Kåge, artistic director for the Gustavsberg ceramics company near Stockholm, is famous for depicting exotic fish and mermaids, applied in silver over a deep aquamarine mottled glaze. Very rarely did he depict male figures, so this piece -- showing an exotic merman playing the harp -- is a rare and very fine exception. Kage and Gustavsberg produced a wide array of vases, chargers, stoppered bottles and bowls. Here, the silver is beautifully worked, with the figure's face and arms given great detail. The piece is fully marked.
