Berndt Friberg Gustavsberg Miniature Sang de Boeuf 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 miniature vase made at Gustavsberg is of tall, flared bottle shape and decorated in red sang de boeuf glazes and made by Berndt Friberg in the mid-20th Century. 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 slender form with a lower bulbous shaped body and with a tall trumpet shaped neck with a simple wide round opening. The body of the vase is decorated in rich red sang de boeuf glazes over a light grey ground with a slight texturing to the surface of the red glazes. The vase bears an incised Friberg signature mark to the base along with an incised 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.
