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 and very stylish Swedish miniature vase made at Gustavsberg is of square form and decorated in green over orange glazes and made by Berndt Friberg in 1971. 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 wide square shape with slightly rounded and angled corners and with a flattened shoulder and a shallow narrow neck and flat wide round rim with a tiny opening. The vase is decorated in green glazes flowed over an orange ground and bears an incised Friberg signature mark to the base along with an incised Gustavsberg mark and a date letter M for 1971. 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.
