About the Item
Art Nouveau Floral Motif Bowl by Agda Österberg, St. Erik Lervarufabriker, Sweden, 1910s
An exceptional Art Nouveau ceramic bowl designed by Agda Österberg and produced at the renowned St. Erik Lervarufabriker in Uppsala, Sweden, circa 1910–1920. This exquisite piece exemplifies the elegance and organic grace of early 20th-century Scandinavian Art Nouveau design.
The bowl features a delicately painted floral motif composed of alternating three conical vases filled with tulip bouquets and three rounded vases with fuller, more expressive arrangements, rendered in shades of blue, green, and warm brown. The glossy surface glaze enhances the vibrancy of the hand-painted design while adding depth and luminosity.
A soft beige background glaze provides a refined contrast, allowing the floral imagery to stand out with subtle sophistication. Measuring approximately 14 cm in height, the vessel’s balanced proportions and flowing contours capture the naturalistic inspiration characteristic of the Art Nouveau period.
ABOUT AGDA ÖSTERBERG
Agda Elisabet Österberg (1891-1987) was a Swedish ceramicist and textile artist, born in Stockholm on October 28, 1891. After her father's death in 1903, she lived with her mother on Sigtunagatan. Agda began her studies at Althin's painting school in 1909 and attended Konstfack from 1912 to 1914. During and after her studies, she designed ceramics for St Eriks Lervarufabriker in Uppsala and traveled extensively in Europe during the 1920s.
In the mid-1910s, Agda became interested in pattern drawing and joined Handarbetets Vänner in Stockholm, participating in exhibitions at Liljevalch's art gallery. She led the textile atelier Libraria and worked for Varbergs Stenkärlsfabrik in the 1920s.
In 1934, Agda and her husband Gunnar built a home and studio named "Tre Bäckar" in Varnhem. There, she created textiles, often with biblical motifs, for around 2,000 churches in Sweden. Agda continued her work until the mid-1970s and passed away on May 30, 1987, in Varnhem Axvall. Today, she is considered one of the top names in Swedish flatweave carpets.
