The sculptor Anna Petrus designed, among other things, cast iron columns for the Swedish pavilion at the World exhibition in Paris, 1925. Details from these columns would then be transformed into flowerpots. One of them is Flower Pot No. 1, which today is made by Näfveqvarn in Sweden. Each flowerpot is cast in its own sand form, and each pot can therefore vary slightly in its form.
