Large Sangre-de-toro fruit bowl by Gustav and Ulla Kraitz, Sweden

About the Item

Beautiful fruit bowl in a sangre-de-toro glaze by Swedish ceramist couple Gustav and Ulla Kraitz. Normal signs of use. No chips or cracks. Gustav Kraitz fled his native Hungary in 1956 and finally came to Sweden where he met Ulla in 1960. After initially focusing on ceramic utility objects, they gradually began to transition to a more free artistic form. He has experimented with a Chinese glaze technique in a hot, wood-fired oven dating back to the Chinese Ming and Song dynasties, which he further developed after 1956. Later, students from China traveled to Sweden to learn more about this technique from the Kraitz couple. In his work, he likes to bring together ceramic parts of different geometric shapes in dynamic compositions. Represented at the national museums in Stockholm and Budapest, The Modern museum in Stockholm, Museum Für Angewandte Kunst in Cologne Germany, LongHouse reserve East Hampton New York, San Andelo museum of fine arts San Angelo Texas, COPIA Napa California, Holocaust Centre Beth Shalom Laxton UK, Holocaust Memorial Museum Washington USA and several more.

    Oak lounge chair, and Ekselius´ version of the popular TV-chair from the 60´s. New cushions with a smooth brown quality upholstery. At the moment we have 3 identical chairs. Karl Erik Ekselius was a Swedish furniture designer born in 1914 in Ålesund, Sweden.

Like many of his Swedish contemporaries during the 1950s and ‘60s, Ekselius originated Scandinavian modern furniture, including dining chairs, dining tables and coffee tables, in richly grained woods like rosewood and teak. He also developed armchairs and office chairs in chromed metal and supple leather. For J. O. Carlsson, he designed the Mondo Chair...
