About the Item
A unique and rather large ceramic wall plaque with an abstract pattern of a peacock and amazing colors from Tilgmans, Sweden. The amazing glazing has a rust orange or red base with some vibrant red, green and darker details. This is a piece of art, bold and makes a statement. It is very much of its time, yet still has a contemporary feeling to it. There is a metal wire at the back for hang it on the wall.
It is 23cm (9.05") in a quadratic shape and 3cm (1.18") deep and in a perfect condition, note that this is a rather heavy object which comes in to just under 2.5kg (5.51lbs); the price includes free shipping.
Tilgmans Keramik (Ceramic) one of Scandinavia’s most valuable contributors to innovative mid-century modern pottery design.
The history of the company is old but by the late 1960s they had established a very unique type of art and design pottery. The design was coarser and darker in appearance always with a modern twist. The production had also a new focus; they were creating more modern interior design objects, varying from art objects to a wide range of vases, lamps, and other ceramic art objects. This became their trademark a very distinct and is not always following the Swedish or Scandinavian design principles, rather one can say that each piece holds a unique quality both in form, function and glazing effects. Rendering that their goods have a modern contemporary feeling, appreciated still, for anyone who loves unique retro and vintage ceramic objects.
Tilgman's had their ceramics and pottery workshop outside Gothenburg, Sweden operating around 1948–1975 under the leadership of its founder Paul Harald Tilgmann (1904–1974). Tilgman's ceramics are mainly known for ceramics that are decorated with so-called sgraffito technology. Tilgmann, like other members of the Tilgmann family in Helsinki, had artistic and design talents. He moved from Helsinki to Gothenburg in 1945. His artistic ambitions led him to become a ceramicist and started Tilgman's ceramics in Utbynäs outside Gothenburg in 1948. In the first years, the ceramics workshop mainly produced animal figures. In 1953, Marian Zawadzki (1912-1978) was employed, a Polish refugee who had knowledge of the graffiti technique. With this technology, the products that Tilgmans created had a unique form and design to their art pottery.
