Rune Tennesmed Pewter Pin

Like yesterday's post, here is another example of beautiful pewter, also from a "floral" collection. This pin was made in the 60s by Swedish artist and highly skilled metalworker Rune Tennesmed.  His studio is located in Kalmar, Sweden, and he is know for his modernist designs.  I could not find any other historical or biographical information on Mr. Tennesmed, so any additional information would be greatly appreciated. 

Feel free to contact me if you are interested in purchasing this piece.  Questions, comments, and additional information are always appreciated.  My online shop on http://www.etsy.com/ is coming soon.

Thank you to the following website(s) for the historical content of this blog post:
