1960'Ss JIE Gantofta (Sweden) Ceramic Coffee Container with Wooden Lid by Anita Nylund

This is a fantastic example of retro/vintage Scandinavian ceramics - dating from the 1960's by JIE Gantofta (Sweden) and designed by the legendary Anita Nylund we have a stunning pottery coffee container with it's original wooden lid (a little shabby however and the seal is perished).  The container is handpainted around the outside with various scenes in vibrant glazes onto a bright white ground - with abstract patterns and shapes around the main designs.  This is an extremely decorative item that would look fabulous on display on it's own or with other Swedish ceramics of the period and matches the rice container we also have for sale.  Please see all photographs for alternative views and close-ups.
