Swedish Grace Pewter Dish, GAB, 1930s

A Swedish Grace pewter dish designed by Sven Arne Gillgren and produced by Guldsmedsaktiebolaget (GAB) in the 1930s. Cast in solid pewter, the petite oval dish is centred by a sculptural relief of a dancing female figure, surrounded by stylised leaves and foliage. The softly modelled relief and restrained ornamentation are characteristic of the Swedish Grace period, combining classical references with a distinctly modern simplicity. Small in scale but beautifully detailed, the piece works equally well as a vide-poche, desk dish, or decorative object. Dimensions: Length: approx 11.5 cm Width: 8 cm Condition: Very good vintage condition with wear consistent with age.
