Gustavsberg small sgraffito vase made by Josef Ekberg in 1917 with powder-blue sponge glaze. Ekberg (1877-1945) began working for Gustavsberg in 1897. Fortunately, he signed and dated his excellent work. This was an impulse buy for us -- we saw it and admired the form, colors, proportions, and details. It's a lovely object that we're sad to part with but we're focusing on metalwork and jewelry these days. 3-3/4" W and 3-7/16" H
