About the Item
This is a ceramic egg-shaped box by Hans Hedberg, created in the 1960s. The piece, which opens in two parts, features Hedberg’s signature speckled glaze in rich earthy tones of brown, gold, and black. Its smooth, organic egg shape highlights his fascination with natural forms and his expertise in glazing techniques. The base is signed, ensuring its authenticity, and it rests on a small white stand.
Hans Hedberg (1917–2007) was a Swedish ceramic artist who lived and worked in Biot, France. Renowned for his innovative glazing methods and sculptural creations, particularly oversized fruit, Hedberg blended artistry with functionality.
This ceramic egg, crafted during his time in Biot, epitomizes his ability to elevate everyday forms into timeless works of art and is a prized collectible from the mid-20th century.
