1960 Important Olaf Skoogfors of Philadelphia Sterling Silver Mid Century Modern Abstract Shallow Bowl (2.25" x 7.75" x 10.75") (413 grams)
$10,000.00
A scarce 1960 Olaf Skoogfors Sterling Silver mid century modern abstract shallow hand wrought bowl. A beautiful hammered texture on the bottom and a planished visible surface, the bowl sits on a visionary three-sided base. The bowl was commissioned in Philadelphia and includes the original receipt and other ephemera (a level of provenance almost unheard of in silver collecting). Overall, a highly original piece painstakingly handmade by a master silversmith in a classic example of the midcentury modern style with Scandinavian influences. No other pieces of Skoogfor's rare hollowware are currently for sale elsewhere, and most known examples are in museums.

Total weight: 413 grams. Dimensions: 2.25" x 7.75" x 10.75". Condition is very good with correct light surface scratching.
