Modernist Pewter Vase by Folke Arström for GAB, Sweden, 1930s

About the Item

This exceptional pewter vase is a rare and highly collectible work by Folke Arström, one of Sweden’s most influential 20th-century designers. Created 1931 (E8) for the prestigious Guldsmedsaktiebolaget (GAB), this piece exemplifies the streamlined elegance and modernist ethos that would go on to define Scandinavian design worldwide. Expertly crafted in a limited production period, the vase’s bold, spherical form is strikingly contrasted by its sculptural, geometric handles — a hallmark of Arström’s visionary approach to industrial design. The surface bears the subtle, hand-finished patina of aged pewter, adding to its authenticity and timeless appeal. As both a decorative object and a design artifact, this piece holds significant historical and artistic value. Arström’s early collaborations with GAB are increasingly scarce on the market, making this vase not only a sophisticated interior accent, but a worthy investment for collectors of Nordic design.
