Vicke Lindstrand Bear Sculpture, Upsala-Ekeby Ceramic, Swedish Modern
A refined ceramic bear sculpture designed by Vicke Lindstrand for Upsala-Ekeby, Sweden, mid-20th century.

Modeled with soft, organic contours, the seated bear conveys a sense of introspection and strength, characteristic of Scandinavian design of the period.
Executed in glazed earthenware, the piece reflects Upsala-Ekeby’s exceptional ceramic production and Lindstrand’s sophisticated approach to form. Works by Lindstrand for Upsala-Ekeby are increasingly sought after, valued for their sculptural quality and timeless Nordic aesthetic.
