ProfessionalProduct description
Rare antique Swedish wooden field flask, dated 1773, beautifully hand-painted with traditional Scandinavian folk art motifs. This exceptional handmade field flask has a rounded, barrel shape and features original floral decorations in soft blue, yellow, and red tones on a dark background.

Today, they are highly prized as decorative folk art objects and historical collectibles. The hand-painted decorations and authentic aged patina give this object exceptional character and charm.
