A sculptural Just Andersen Disko grotesque fish vase, cast in Denmark during the Art Deco period, c1930s. Andersen (1884–1943) is renowned for his expressive metalwork and for developing Disko, a proprietary alloy of lead and antimony with a distinctive matte‑bronze character.
This rare fish form is one of Andersen’s most playful and sought‑after sculptural designs — part vessel, part creature, and unmistakably Art Deco. The surface shows a rich, untouched natural patina developed over nearly a century, enhancing the depth and character of the alloy.
Stamped Just to the base, with a worn model number likely 1389.
