AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Two Art‑Deco bottles by Georg Nilsson for Gero (ca. 1930–1940)
Two rare Art‑Deco bottles designed by Georg Nilsson for Gero, Zeist, made in dark green blown glass with original tin neck collars and stoppers. The bottles bear clear stamps of GERO, characteristic of Nilsson's early production period at Gero in the 1930s–1940s.
Nilsson is known for his sculptural formal language and the combination of hammered tin with color glass — precisely what makes this set so recognizable. The round, almost organic glass waves and the heavy tin stoppers give the bottles an elegant, timeless look.
Features
• Designer: Georg Nilsson (1900–1975)
• Manufacturer: Gero, Zeist
• Period: ca. 1930–1940
• Material: dark green blown glass + tin collar and stopper
• Markings: GERO
• Both stoppers original and fitting
Dimensions (approx.)
• Large bottle: 25 cm high
• Small bottle: 15 cm high
Condition
Good vintage condition with authentic patina on the tin. Glasswork intact and without cracks. Stamps clearly legible. The set presents beautifully as a decorative duo.
Special features
This kind of glass‑tin combinations by Nilsson are less commonly on the market than the well‑known decanters and glass sets. The bottles are therefore rarer and very attractive to collectors of Art‑Deco glassware and Gero design.
An elegant, historic set with strong collector value.
