About the Item

Large and Beautiful Urn made by Wilhelm Kåge at Gustavsberg Studio in Sweden, 1930s. Argenta glazed stoneware. Excellent condition. Impressed 'Gustavsberg' and "HANDDREJAD". Wilhelm Kåge was a Swedish artist, painter, and ceramicist. Between 1917 and 1949, he worked as artistic director at Gustavsberg porcelain factory. It was during this time that Kåge developed numerous ceramic designs that were infused with what he had learned from the modern movements in painting and sculpture. Kåge studied at Valand konstskola in Gothenburg and later in Copenhagen, where he got to know artist Gösta Adrian-Nilsson (GAN) and became familiar with modern art. He studied graphic art in Munich and began his artistic career by designing posters for theaters and exhibitions. When Gustavsberg needed new products for the home Exhibition at Liljevalch in 1917, Kåge was hired. He developed 30 different tableware, colorful faience, stoneware, and series such as Carrara, Surrea, and Våga. In 1942, Kåge developed Gustavsberg's studio together with designer Stig Lindberg. The studio became an aesthetic laboratory for objets d'art. Kåge's work was not only popular in Sweden, but also gained international recognition. His pieces were exhibited in galleries and museums around the world, including the Victoria and Albert Museum in London and the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. Today, Kåge's ceramics are highly sought after by collectors. His contributions to the field of ceramics are celebrated for their timeless beauty and innovative techniques, and his legacy continues to inspire new generations of artists and designers.
