A Journey through Tin Craftsmanship: Havstad's artistic pursuits led him to explore diverse avenues. When faced with the challenges of sustaining a livelihood as a sculptor and writer, he turned to tinwork. In 1930, he founded Havstad Tinn on Blylaget in Nesodden. Working with tin offered various advantages – as "tinnhåndverker" (tin craftsman) wasn't a protected profession, formal training wasn't necessary. Moreover, the affordability of raw materials and the absence of costly tools made tin a suitable medium.

Created by the artist himself, this decanter is a remarkable representation of his artistic vision. Crafted from pewter and originating from Norway, it embodies the essence of the 1950s period.
