About the Item

Berndt Friberg (Swedish, 1899-1981) joined Gustavsberg in 1934 and his work is considered as some of the finest examples of wheel thrown pottery of the 20th Century. Inspired by the ceramics of the Far East Friberg focused on both form and glaze with many of his pieces reflecting glazes more akin to ancient Chinese wares. In all his work Friberg reflected an unsurpassed level of craftmanship with his work shown and represented in many important museum collections around the world. This and finely made Swedish small sized bowl, made at Gustavsberg, is of simple open round shape and decorated in matt green haresfure glazes and made by Berndt Friberg in the 1950’s. The bowl stands raised on a narrow round foot with an unglazed rim and slightly recessed and matt glazed base. The finely hand thrown bowl is of wide round shape with a raised edge and is exquisitely decorated in matt green haresfur glazes with contrasting elements within the base of the bowl with very slight texturing to the surface. The bowl bears an incised Friberg signature mark to the base along with an incised Gustavsberg mark. Provenance: from a choice collection of Scandinavian pottery amassed by a private gentleman who sadly now has insufficient space to display these fine pieces. In good condition with light wear associated with age and use.
