Rare Pierre Forsell crown vase in patinaed brass manufactured by Skultuna in the 1970s. Pierre Oskar Paul Forssell, born 1925 in Stockholm, died 2004, was a Swedish designer, craftsman and silversmith. Forssell worked for Gense from 1952–1964 where he designed the Piruett swivel fork (introduced in 1955 on the H55, launched in 1959) and the Spectra cutlery range (1961).
