Vase

Designed by Stig Lindberg for Gustavsberg

Sweden, 1963

This exceptional stoneware vase by Stig Lindberg for Gustavsberg, created in 1963, exemplifies the artist’s masterful balance between sculptural form and decorative finesse. The piece features a distinctive architectural silhouette with a bulbous upper body and slender waist, set atop a cylindrical base adorned with pressed lattice motifs. Its richly nuanced glaze in turquoise, green, and brown-beige evokes depth and movement, characteristic of Lindberg’s exploration of texture and color interaction.

Part of Lindberg’s artistic stoneware production, this vase represents the height of mid-century Swedish ceramic innovation—playful yet precise, expressive yet functional. With provenance from Wilhelm Kåge’s private collection, it holds both historical and artistic significance within the Gustavsberg legacy.
