Swedish Modern Wilhelm Kage Argenta Stoneware and Silver Vase

About the Item

The Argenta collection, now emblematic with its green glaze and silver decorations, is one of Wilhelm Käge's most recognizable motifs. Designed in the late 1920s, it was first presented at the Stockholm exhibition in 1930 and was then produced by Gustavsberg, whose designer was the artistic director in the 1930s and 1940s. Finished in tooled silver and a brilliant green-turquoise glaze, this Argenta vase made by Gustavsberg depicts a mermaid emerging from a nautilus shell, reaching for a large fish with a trident. This piece is part of a large series of Argenta works that depict aquatic figures such as mermaids cavorting with an array of other sea creatures. Most were designed by Wilhelm Kåge, who designed scores of pieces over two decades, The vase is marked on the bottom.
