A Wiwen Nilsson sterling vase Lund 1961, also marked EXPO PARIS 1937 2/2.

Semispherical base, hexagonal top. Height 32,5, weight 1358 g.

The original model was shown at the Paris World Fair in 1937 and afterwards it remained in Wiwen Nilsson's home. This version is slightly different with the rim at the mouth, an addition which Wiwen Nilsson rather preferred.
