Argenta vase by Wilhelm Kåge for Gustavsberg, 1930s

A rather large Art Deco vase known as 'Argenta', designed by Wilhelm Kåge and handmade for Gustavsberg in the 1930s. This green ceramic vase features a fish scale decoration and is typical of the Swedish Grace style popular in Sweden during the 1920s and 1930s. The Argenta line was introduced at the Stockholm exhibition in 1930 and has become rare and highly sought after.
