About the Item

A rare and sculptural Art Deco pewter vessel produced by GAB (Guldsmedsaktiebolaget), Sweden, and dated 1937. This striking piece embodies the refined modernism of Scandinavian design in the 1930s, combining clean geometric form with expressive figural detail. The vessel features a flattened circular body rising into a tall, tapering neck, anchored by a dynamic, curved handle that creates a fluid, architectural silhouette. The highlight is the exceptional figural stopper: a stylized nude figure captured in motion, leaning forward to engage a ring mechanism that operates the hinged lid. This inventive and sculptural element transforms the object into both a functional vessel and a piece of decorative art. One side is engraved with a presentation inscription dated 1937, adding historical depth and individuality. The underside bears the GAB maker’s mark, confirming its Swedish origin and quality craftsmanship. Balanced, tactile, and visually compelling, this piece stands as a superb example of early 20th-century Nordic metalwork—equally suited for display in a curated interior or a serious collection.
