Bengt Berggren, large pewter vase, 1980s.

Bengt Berggren, large pewter vase in brutalist style, 1980s. Sculptural pewter vase with a tall conical body and a raw, organic rim featuring textured detailing. Set on a square base. Retains Bengt Berggren workshop label to the underside and is incised/signed “B. Berggren”. Origin: Sweden. Designer: Bengt Berggren. Material: Pewter. Dimensions: H. 30 cm, D. 9 cm. Period: 1980s. Condition: Good condition with normal wear, surface scratches, and light patina. Bio: Pewter has a long tradition in Swedish decorative arts and, in the late 20th century, was frequently used for hand-worked, sculptural forms with deliberately raw and organic finishes. Pieces like this reflect the 1980s interest in tactile materiality and a freer, more artistic approach to functional objects.
