Forselles began experimenting on ‘decorated urns’ shortly before 1900, and the latest known example is dated 1909. Only a handful of examples were made, and the pieces with biblical scenes are particularly rare. The first mention of her urns can be found in a 1904 article by V. Lindman from the Swedish magazine Idun. The second came in 1937 in a landmark biography of Forselles by her close friend and long time supporter Helena Westermarck. She gives a description of several urns on page 138, incuding four with biblical scenes : Jacob’s Dream (or Jacob’s Ladder), which we presume to be our urn, Christ surrounded by his Apostles, David playing the Harp for Saül, and ‘The Voyage of Mankind’. The Porvoo Museum in Finland was given in 1936 what we believe to be the Christ surrounded by his Apostles urn (Inv n°36-167). The whereabouts of the other two urns described by Westermarck are unknown. Two other vases are recorded today, one in the collection of the Turun Taidemuseo in Turku, Finland, the other in the collection of the Loviisa Town Museum in Loviisa, Finland.
