Vase

Designed by Stig Lindberg for Gustavsberg

Sweden, 1966

This exquisite stoneware vase by Stig Lindberg for Gustavsberg, crafted in 1963, captures the designer’s hallmark fusion of sculptural form and painterly glaze work. The rounded upper body rests on a subtly flared cylindrical base featuring a pressed checkerboard pattern, creating a striking dialogue between smooth and textured surfaces. Its deep, blue-green glaze transitions seamlessly between rich turquoise and shadowy black, evoking the organic beauty of natural landscapes.

A fine example of Lindberg’s mature studio work, the vase reflects his ability to balance precision with expressive artistry. Both modern and timeless, it embodies the spirit of mid-century Scandinavian design—where craftsmanship, innovation, and poetic simplicity coexist in perfect harmony.

ith provenance from Wilhelm Kåge’s private collection, it holds both historical and artistic significance within the Gustavsberg legacy.
