Grete Prytz Kittelsen enamel cylindrical box from Norway, mid-century modern (1950–1960), blue enamel with a silver band, height 8.5 cm, diameter 5.5 cm, weight 183 g, in excellent condition; a rare Radionette promotional edition with the lid interior engraved.
Description from the seller
A rare and exceptional enamel box by Grete Prytz Kittelsen, one of Norway’s most celebrated enamel artists and designers. This cylindrical box features a vibrant teal/turquoise enamel finish with a subtle striped pattern, showcasing Prytz’s signature craftsmanship and attention to detail. The box is accented with a polished metal band around the middle, adding a refined contrast to the glossy enamel surface.
A unique and historically significant feature of this piece is the engraved interior of the lid, which reads “RADIONETTE” alongside a globe symbol. This marking indicates that the box was a special-issue promotional item, likely commissioned by Tinnemyr for distribution to workers—a rare and collectible variant of Prytz’s work.
This Radionette edition is a standout piece in Prytz’s oeuvre, combining her mastery of enamel with a specific historical context. Its rarity, impeccable condition, and provenance make it a highly desirable addition to any collection of Scandinavian design or mid-century decorative arts.
It's in excellent condition, only a miniature flaw next to the metallic ring, as seen in picture.
The plastic cup is in flawless condition.
The original box has some small signs of wear and tear.
