This is fine original vintage Swedish stainless steel lidded jug. It dates to the late 1950s / early 1960s.
I have two of these lidded jugs listed on my website. The slightly smaller one holds 100 cl of liquid - and this larger one hold 150 cl.
My jug is made of good quality 18/8 gauge stainless stell - and it is in excellent shiny condition with no nasty scratches, marks or stains. It is beautifully made and crafted, as photographed. I love the geometric inclusions to enliven the design - the little 3-D disk on the lid - each side filled with black bakelite - and the bakelite is repeated on the undulating handle.
I have four different pieces listed in this design. Two lidded jugs, a squat lidded pot (a little like a teapot in form) and an open jug.
Gense is the biggest manufacturer of cutlery made of stainless steel in the Scandinavia. The company was founded by Gustaf Eriksson in 1856 and over the years Gense has collaborated with some of the most renowned designers. Many of their early / mid 20th century designs are still in production today and are considered design classics.
This design was probably designed by Folke Arnstrom - who worked for Gense and liked to include bakelite details into his innovative mid-century designs for the company.
These tall stylish jugs would be great for filling with ice and adding different measures and mixers to create a sharing jug of your favourite cocktails. The jug would hold 100 cl of liquid. Just add a long spoon for stirring and you have stylish cocktails on long summer nights.
Of course - like most items of Swedish design it is made to the highest standards of quality. My price takes into account the fabulousness of the design and also what nice condition it is in.
