Lidded bowl by Konsthantverk Tyringe

This lidded pewter bowl was produced by Konsthantverk Tyringe in Sweden during the 1940s. The design embodies a strong mid-century Scandinavian aesthetic, characterized by geometric precision and refined craftsmanship. The bowl has a sharply conical body resting on a small circular pedestal, lending it an architectural quality. The removable lid is topped with a stylized ram figurine, adding a decorative yet minimalist detail that reflects the era’s blend of functionalism and artistic expression.

Konsthantverk Tyringe was renowned for its high-quality metalwork, especially in pewter—a material favored in Scandinavian decorative arts for its durability and soft sheen. The bowl’s form, with its clean symmetrical lines and sculptural presence, suggests influences from both Art Deco and early modernist design movements. Its restrained elegance and use of pewter are hallmarks of Swedish craftsmanship in the mid-century period.

The pewter surface shows natural aging with a soft patina that enhances the piece’s character. The condition is typical for vintage pewter, with subtle tonal variations and minor surface marks that speak to its history.

The bowl measures 22.5 centimeters in diameter and 26 centimeters in height (8.9 x 10.2 inches).
