Berndt Friberg Gustavsberg Haresfur Glazed Bulb Shape Studio Pottery Vase

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 round bulb shape and decorated in matt chocolate and tan streaked glazes with a haresfur style patterning and made by Berndt Friberg between 1944 and 1948. The vase stands on a narrow round foot with an unglazed rim and slightly recessed and matt glazed base. The vase has a wide rounded shape body with a small narrow and short funnel top with simple rounded opening. The body of the vase is mainly decorated in matt dull chocolate and tan glazes with yellow and blue halos applied around the neck of the vase with blue glazes applied to the top rim with a solid chocolate glazed rim around the lower body. The finish has a textured appearance and combines a ‘haresfur’ finish with streaked patterning and is an exceptional quality piece. The vase bears an impressed early B.F. Friberg mark to the base along with an impressed Gustavsberg mark. 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.
