In the event of a complaint, please send an email with information and attached image to info@svenskttenn.se.

2. Fill in the return form. Put the return form inside the parcel.

3. Peel off the pre-paid return label and attach it to the outside of the parcel, making sure that you remove or cover the original address label.

4. If you have received your parcel by DHL it is important that you send it back to us from a DHL service office. If you have received the parcel as a postal package it is important to send it back from a PostNord service office.

5. When we have received and approved your returned item, the freight cost will be deducted from your refund. We will refund you using the same payment method as you used when the order was made. Please remember that financial responsibility for the return is yours until it reaches us so we recommend ensuring the item and packaging it well.

If you withdraw from your purchase, you must send the product back to us unused (but you are allowed to examine the product to see that is not faulty), along with the enclosed return paper and in its original condition.

How does it work with return and exchanges when I shop online?

Our goal is that you shall be completely satisfied with the product or the products you purchase from us. If you order from the website or from our customer service you have a right of retraction, regardless of your reason, within 14 working days from your receipt of the product. You must, however, notify our customer service. We kindly ask you to observe that you cannot exercise your right of retraction simply by refusing delivery of the product or by not collecting the parcel.

In addition to the right of retraction, we provide 30 days right of replacement, regardless if the purchase has been made through our website or from our customer service. The period starts from the day you placed the order.

You can exchange the product with another by placing a new order on our website. Return the goods in unaltered condition, ideally in their original packaging. The return slip includes the address that you should use. If you use your right of return/exchange, the return shipping will be charged retrospectively if you have chosen to use our Svenskt Tenn's return slip. In the case of exchange or return, you are responsible for transport risks. Always save guarantee/delivery notes until the return is completed, as these show your return package number which you will require in the case of any claims.

Art nr: 106179

Design: Estrid Ericson
Material: Pewter
Height: 34 cm

Pewter is a silvery-white metallic element that is extracted primarily from the mineral tinstone or cassiterite. It is one of the few metals that have been in use since prehistoric times.
Designer: Estrid Ericson

Estrid Ericson began her career as a drawing teacher and pewter artist. But what really set her apart during her 56 years as managing director for Svenskt Tenn were her abilities as a producer and scenographer. Ericson never had an aesthetic programme mapped out, but she had an imaginative person’s perceptiveness for the many faces of beauty. Read more
Care instructions

Pewter is a soft material that requires careful treatment. We recommend using cotton gloves when handling pewter. Objects that are not being used can be stored in a plastic or felt bag to avoid scratching.

It is generally recommended to avoid using polish on pewter, since it can cause scratches. To remove fingerprints and other stains, rinse the pewter in warm water with a small amount of dish detergent. Dry with a soft cloth. For more advanced cleaning of pewter objects we recommend a professional restorer, for example, KA Johnsson in Stockholm.

Keep in mind that humidity can damage table tops and other surfaces. Wipe the vase dry immediately after filling it with water, and always keep it dry to reduce the need for polishing.
