Pewter Dish with Brass Edging

Nils Fougstedt, Svenskt Tenn

A dish made of pewter with brass edging, manufactured in Stockholm by Svenskt Tenn in 1936. Features a presentation engraving on the reverse. Designed by Nils Fougstedt, who was a Swedish sculptor and designer. Together with Estrid Ericson, he established a workshop for the production of pewter objects in Stockholm in 1924, which became the foundation of the company Firma Svenskt Tenn. From the 1920s classicism, he transitioned around 1930 to a moderate functionalism with straight, polished surfaces.
