Its silhouette sits between late Art Deco (Funkis) and early Scandinavian modernism: decorative, but still controlled and architectural. The upper edge has a soft scalloped rhythm, giving the object a more delicate profile when seen from above.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"538\" data-end=\"782\"\u003eThe brass has a warm golden tone with visible age, surface marks and natural darkening. It carries the material history of an old Swedish brass piece, with patina, scratches and signs of use clearly present.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"784\" data-end=\"966\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"784\" data-end=\"806\"\u003eDesigner and Maker\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"806\" data-end=\"809\"\u003eDesigner: Gunnar Ander\u003cbr data-start=\"831\" data-end=\"834\"\u003eManufacturer: Ystad Metall\u003cbr data-start=\"860\" data-end=\"863\"\u003eCountry: Sweden\u003cbr data-start=\"878\" data-end=\"881\"\u003ePeriod: circa 1940s\u003cbr data-start=\"900\" data-end=\"903\"\u003eMaterial: Polished brass\u003cbr data-start=\"927\" data-end=\"930\"\u003eMarking: Ystad Metall Made in Sweden\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"968\" data-end=\"1252\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"968\" data-end=\"986\"\u003eForm and Style\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"986\" data-end=\"989\"\u003eThe vase is small, but visually strong. The vertical fluting gives it height and movement, while the broad circular base keeps the form stable. The shape works well as a miniature vase, a cabinet object or a small decorative accent on a shelf, desk or side table.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1254\" data-end=\"1454\"\u003eThe design reflects the transition from Art Deco ornament toward cleaner modernist forms. The ribbed body, golden metal and fan like opening give it a period character without making it overly ornate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1456\" data-end=\"1737\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1456\" data-end=\"1478\"\u003eColour and Surface\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"1478\" data-end=\"1481\"\u003eThe brass colour ranges from warm gold to deeper aged bronze tones.
