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 stunning Swedish vase, made at Gustavsberg, is of flared bottle shape and decorated in streaked matt blue and green glazes and made by Berndt Friberg in 1953. The vase stands raised on a narrow round foot with an unglazed rim and slightly recessed and matt glazed base. The finely made vase is of tall, elegant bottle shape with a bottle shaped body with narrowing neck and simple flared top. It blue glazes streaked over a celadon green ground with elements of brown, dominant around the top rim. The vase bears an incised Friberg signature mark to the base along with an incised Gustavsberg mark and has an incised mark which we are advised dates the piece to 1953. 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.
