Gustavsberg is a Swedish porcelain company that originated in 1826. It broke up in the 1990s and was sold off in pieces, to the dismay of residents of the Gustavsberg area, but artisans continued producing ceramics and household porcelain in the Gustavsberg tradition. One of Gustavsberg's most famous collections is the "Nobel Porcelain" produced in 1994. One such artisan was Josef Ekberg, who, even as a young man, created many pieces for Gustavsberg.
“Argenta" series vessels are special Art Deco treasures that were created for Swedish firm Gustavsberg & designed by Wilhelm Kage in the 30s/40s. They always feature elaborate sterling silver decorations inlaid on a mottled blue/green stoneware base.
