About the Item

Mari Simmulson (1911-2000) was born to Estonian parents in St Petersburg, Russia. At the start of the Russian revolution in 1917, the family moved back to Estonia. During the 1930s, Mari studied at the State Art School in Tallinn. After her formal education, Mari further developed her skills at the nearby Arabia porcelain factory in Helsinki. After marrying, Mari moved to Munich where she studied sculpture. When World War II began, Mari fled to Sweden on a fishing boat. She was forced to leave behind her family and relatives, with whom she would never be reunited. Arrival at Gustavsberg In 1945, Mari Simmulson began working at Gustavsbergs Porcelain Factory. There, she was fortunate to work alongside the factory’s legendary leader, Wilhelm Kage. Mari’s creative output ranged from unique sculptures to small animal figurines.

The Upsala-Ekeby years Mari left Gustavsberg in 1949, taking a position at Upsala-Ekeby. Together with Hjordis Oldfors and Ingrid Atterberg, she completed a trio of influential female designers who set the tone for the company in the fifties. Mari would remain at the factory until 1972, designing a variety of dishware, vases, wall plates, bowls, and figurines. She often opted for bold, colorful decor, offering a clear contrast to dark, unadorned pottery. Mari Simmulson, Vase, Glazed and Hand-Painted Stoneware, Sweden 1960.
