Claes Thell Swedish Hoganas Modernist Wall Plaque
About the Item
Claes Thell (Swedish, 1943-2019) was one of Sweden’s leading ceramic artists of the 20th /21st Century. He worked as a ceramicist at the Hoganas factory before starting his own studio where he gained recognition as an artist who experimented with both shapes and glazes leading to unique stoneware pieces. Examples of his work are in the National Museum in Stockholm.
An unusual modernist Swedish ceramic wall plaque with a quadratic form of abstract figures in relief by Claes Thell (Swedish, 1943-2009) and dated 1980. This limited-edition square form stoneware plaque is sculpted in relief with abstract figures in a mirror like surround and hand decorated in brown and yellow glazes. The plaque was made in a limited edition of 250 pieces at his Hoganas studio of which this is number 87. The plaque has a hanging slit applied to the back and is marked 87/250 and bears an incised title and the date 1980. The plaque is also signed C Thell to the front lower right edge.
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.
