About the Artist
Wilhelm Kåge (1889–1960) was a pioneering Swedish ceramic artist and designer, known for his influential contributions to the world of ceramics. Serving as the artistic director of the Gustavsberg Porcelain Factory in Sweden, Kåge played a crucial role in shaping the direction of Scandinavian pottery in the early to mid-20th century.
Introduced at the Stockholm exhibition in 1930, the "Argenta" series became one of Kåge's most notable and celebrated collections. The "Argenta" collection showcases Kåge's innovative approach to ceramic design, combining traditional craftsmanship with a modern aesthetic. What distinguishes this collection is chased silver to depict the images that adorn the vibrantly green glaze.
The "Argenta" collection is characterized by its sleek and streamlined forms, often adorned with intricate, hand-painted patterns. Kåge's ability to seamlessly integrate functionality with artistic expression is evident in these pieces. The metallic glaze not only adds a touch of luxury but also highlights Kåge's experimentation with materials and his commitment to pushing the boundaries of traditional ceramic art.
Wilhelm Kåge's legacy is not only marked by his artistic creations but also by his influence on the evolution of Swedish ceramics. The "Argenta" collection stands as a testament to Kåge's ability to innovate within the constraints of traditional craftsmanship, leaving an indelible mark on the history of ceramic art and design.
Items from the Argenta series are perfect for the discerning client or collector who wishes to decorate with truly iconic pieces.
