Ceramic plate by Olle Alberius from the 'Kurbits' Series for Rörstrand, Sweden.

About the Item

A very nice little vintage ceramic plate, made by the very well-known designer Olle Alberius, known as "Kurbits" from Rörstrand, Sweden. Alberius ceramic always has a special feeling, the shapes are simple, but the glazing is just stunning, the pattern is slightly abstract, yet knowing that Alberius has used a traditional style of folklore decoration known as Kurbits, one can see where he got his inspiration from. All off his objects are individual since they are hand painted. The price includes free shipping. The color is just stunning a dark blue color has been used against a pale gray background and there are also some dark brown and purple details as well as black details. It is around 20cm (7.87") in diameter and 2,5cm (0.98") high. It is in a very good condition. Between the years 1957 - 1965, Olle Alberius worked in Strömstad as a designer at SYCO keramik, where he created a large number of dishes, figurines, vases and bowls. He later works at Rörstrand, and between 1963 and 1965 he was employed at both SYCO keramik and Rörstrand. Alberius was attached to Rörstrand's Porcelain Factory in 1963–1971, where he worked partly with handicrafts and partly with tableware in flint and feldspar porcelain. Subsequently he was one of the leading designers of modern ceramic interior objects during the 1960s and 70s. From 1971 he was active at Orrefors glassworks where he produced both classic tableware as Victoria (1978) and Erik (1974), art glass in ariel and grail technology and cut sculptures in crystal. Alberius is represented at the National Museum in Stockholm and other museums around the world.
