-It is 12cm high and 12cm in diameter. (4.72"). It is in a very good condition and the price includes FREE shipping.
The history of Gustavsberg dates back to 1825. In 1826, the wholesaler Herman Öhman tore down the old brick mill and started a porcelain factory on the site. His plan was to supply the growing Swedish middle class with porcelain goods. However, there were major production problems in the factory, and the quality of the produced goods was substandard. No artists were recruited, and the Gustavsberg pottery was highly influenced by German and English shapes and decorations. Like many of the local Gustavsberg boys, Josef Ekberg (1877-1945) started to work at the porcelain factory at the age of 12. Ekberg and fellow artist Gunnar Wennerberg jointly developed the famed Sgraffito technique, where a pattern is carved on a glazed surface. The art pieces they produced received a warm welcome at the World Exhibition in Paris in 1900. The Gustavsberg company was about to receive worldwide recognition for the quality of its work. Wilhelm Kåge (1889-1960) first gained notoriety in Sweden for his colorful posters during the 1910s. He soon attracted the attention of the Gustavsberg factory which sought out artists with new ideas. Kåge accepted the offer from the factory, despite his lack of experience in ceramic production. His task was to add an artistic touch to the factory’s functional items. Berndt Friberg (1899-1981) was hired by the Gustavsberg factory in 1934. During his first years, he worked as a thrower for Wilhelm Kåge. Friberg’s arrival was marked by a significant increase in the quality of Kåge’s art pieces. Soon enough, he became the undisputed master thrower at Gustavsberg. The young art student?Stig Lindberg (1916-1982) went unannounced to the Gustavsberg factory in 1937 looking for a summer job. The skinny, odd-looking young man exuded confidence: ”If you hire me, I will ensure that there will be jobs in the factory.” Lindberg was hired as an assistant but climbed fast through the ranks because of his frenetic energy and wealth of fresh ideas. Wilhelm Kåge and Stig Lindberg jointly developed the noteworthy faience production through the late 1930s and early 1940s. The faience objects were created from reddish earthenware, coated with a milky-white glaze and hand painted bold colored decor. The floral motifs of the 1940s slowly gave way to the era-typical geometrical decor of the 1950s and 1960s. The faience series became a huge success and is still one of the most well-known symbols of Swedish mid-century design. In 1949, Stig Lindberg succeeded Wilhelm Kåge as artistic leader. His influence was quickly felt across the entirety of the design world; from slender, delicate stoneware to TV sets, wash basins, tableware, home decor, textiles, children’s books, enamel, and glass art. It is easy to get lost in the sheer breadth of artistic production over Lindberg’s lifetime. He did not make a distinction between the artistic merit of industrial design and more traditional works of art. Lindberg famously noted, “A thumbtack holds for me as much poetry as a wildflower.”
