Vintage Swedish Hand-Painted Bread Box with Matching Knife – 1990s Folk Art Set
A stunning and cohesive piece of Scandinavian folk tradition, this vintage Swedish bread box with matching painted knife is both functional and decorative — an authentic example of Nordic rural artistry brought to life in the 1990s.
The round wooden bread box is hand-painted in soft blue with a vibrant floral garland of daisies, bluebells, and greenery. The interior features a classic woven birch wall, lightweight yet strong, and the lid is topped with a ribbon-wrapped handle for a graceful finishing touch.
Included with this box is its original matching bread knife, hand-painted in the same floral motif and marked 1994. This pairing is rare and highly collectible, offering both practical function and decorative appeal. Perfect for storing crispbread (knäckebröd), cakes, or other dry goods.
CONDITION Light vintage wear consistent with age. Paint is vibrant, with only minor signs of use. Knife is structurally sound and decoratively intact. Together, this 30+ year-old set remains a delightful and rare example of Swedish craftsmanship.
MEASUREMENTS Bread Box Diameter: 32 cm (12.6 in) Bread Box Height: 11 cm (4.3 in)
