Wilhelm Kåge's vase with a wide form, blue/brown glaze, and relief decor. It was designed in 1958 at his Gustavsberg studio. A brilliant art piece from the Swedish mid-century!
Wilhelm Kåge designed many classics for the Swedish Gustavsberg company. Some of the most well-known objects are those with KAPA marks. The design was a collaboration with his three colleagues in the studio: Björn Alskog, Axel Pettersson, and Birger Arvidsson. On the lower sides, the pieces were marked KAPA from the first letters in the surnames: Kåge, Alskog, Pettersson, and Arvidsson.
