Artist: Rune Tennesmed, His birth name is Rune Carlsson. 1.25" x 1.25". Rune Tennesmed was a 20th century Swedish artist and jewelry designer who worked primarily in pewter. In fact the name Tennesmed translates to pewtersmith. His birth name of Rune Carlsson was changed to reflect his profession and became the name of his company.

Rune Tennesmed is internationally recognized as one of the most significant Scandinavian artists of the mid-20th century for reviving old traditions. After graduating in art, he began his career working as an interior designer and decorator.

However, he soon became interested in pewter art and began to master the art of forging metals in the workshop of Erik Fransson's Art-Tin. After training, in 1952 he opened his own workshop, Rune Tennesmed AB, where among other things he hand crafted jewelry from pewter, silver, copper, brass, as well as wood and glass. It is noteworthy that R. Tennesmed made his own pewter from alloys of tin, copper and other components. Traditionally, R Tennesmed's pieces have markings on the back side of each piece containing the stamp R. His designs combined the elements of ancient Viking ornamental adornments, British Modern and American Modernism. According to art critics, his mid century designs demonstrates so called "Scandinavian populist modernism". Tennesmed's mid-century work and jewelry pieces are extremely collectible.
