More information
There are three known vases with this design by Prince Eugen. One vase, but without a stand, was a gift to the artist Anders Zorn from the prince on Zorn's 50th birthday in 1910 and is today in the collections of the Zorn Museum.
Another one is at Waldemarsudde museum and is marked 1904 with the stand/base marked 1906.
We would like to thank the former chief curator and museum director at Prince Eugen's Waldemarsudde, Elsebeth Welander, for the information.
