AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Superb stoneware vase by the famous Swedish ceramicist Berndt Friberg (1899–1981) for Gustavsberg workshops, Sweden, circa 1965.
This remarkable piece of Scandinavian ceramics stands out for its particularly harmonious spherical silhouette, extended by a narrow and delicately elongated neck.
It features a magnificent blue-gray glaze with subtle brown nuances and fine vertical striations, characteristic of the renowned technique called “hare’s fur glaze,” which gives the surface remarkable depth and chromatic richness.
The minimalist form, balanced proportions, and sophisticated glaze work testify to Berndt Friberg’s exceptional craftsmanship, a major figure in 20th-century Swedish ceramics.
The piece bears an incised signature under the base as well as the original Gustavsberg Sweden label.
A beautiful collectible piece representative of 1960s Scandinavian design, particularly sought after by modern ceramic enthusiasts and Gustavsberg creations.
