Muut tiedot
A larger variant of the model was exhibited at the Swedish industrial art exhibitions at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York and the Art Institute of Chicago in 1927. The decoration appears as early as 1925 as a door transom in the Swedish pavilion at the International Exhibition of Modern Decorative and Industrial Arts in Paris, to be reworked after the exhibition into flower boxes in two sizes.
