Wilhelm Kåge "Argenta" Lily Of The Valley Miniature Ceramic Vase, 1930s
One of the most well-known series is Argenta from 1930. It was first presented at the Stockholm Exhibition of this year, where Swedish artists, craftsmen and companies showed their latest achievements. The width of the Argenta pieces is striking, ranging from vases and bowls, to urns and sculptures. They were made of stoneware with monumental forms and neoclassical or Art Deco motifs. Most of them came with a mottled strong green glaze. But they could also come in blue, brown, celadon green, or red color. The Argenta series was manufactured until the late 1970s.
Wilhelm Kåge (1889-1960) is one of the most well-known representatives of the illustrious Swedish ceramic design of the 20th century. He was the artistic leader for Gustavsberg in the 1930s and 1940s and is often called the father of Swedish modernism. Kage is represented at the Swedish National Museum of Art and Design. Gustavsberg porcelain factory is Sweden’s oldest porcelain factory. It is located in Gustavsberg and has been in continuous operation since 1827. Gustavsberg produces genuine art ceramics such as tableware and crafts.
