Large Mid-Century Scandinavian Modern Wall Plate, Nittsjö Sweden

About the Item

Mid-century modern signed Scandinavian art pottery wall decoration, which can also function as a large plate or bowl. This piece is known as “the Peacock” and has a very 70's feeling to it and it depicts an abstract bird in the shape of a Peacock, in really nice color, warm grey with hints of blue combined with warm nearly vibrant blue, with Lazur details. At the back there is an imbedded metal wire to be able to safely hang it on the wall. Yet if one so wishes it can also be used as a large plate. It is 3cm (1.18") high and 31cm (12.20") in diameter, it has some micro nicks at the base, underneath the plate, not visible one hanging on the wall or if used as a plate and overall is it in a fantastic condition. The price includes free shipping Nittsjö Ceramics, Sweden Nittsjö ceramics factory is a limited company for the production of earthenware.

By Tilgmans Keramik
Located in Copenhagen, DK
Extraordinary modernist item by Swedish Tilgmans Keramik. Fully glazed centerpiece or wall decoration depicting a green faced woman with long stemmed yellow and blue flowers on a striped dark blue background created with the sgraffito technique. Manufactured in 1957 by German/Swedish Paul Harald Tilgman in his workshop in a small town close to Gothenburg in Sweden. Blue patterned glaze on the sides and muted blue leaves on the milky white glazed base. Signed and dated on base. A rare and unique piece in beautiful condition! Sweden, 1957. About Tilgmans Keramik: Paul Harald “Harry” Tilgmann was born in Dresden, Germany in 1904 and emigrated to Sweden during WWII where he started Tilgmans Keramik (= Ceramics) in 1948 in the small town of Utbynäs close to Gothenburg. Tilgman had 16 employees working for him and when he hired the Polish refugee Marian Zawadzki (1912-1978) as artistic director in 1953, Tilgman Keramik started experimenting with the distinct sgraffito technique. The sgraffito technique consists of carving fine lines into the background of a design through a light coloured glaze down to a dark grey clay slip. This created a unique textured ground which has become a style associated with Tilgmans Keramik in particular. The decorative elements also appear to be outlined with a carved line and then hand painted with overglazes where birds, fish, flowers, butterflies and other animals were a common theme. This type of work was the most popular in Mid Century Sweden alongside Tilgmans small animal figurines...
