Vase

Designed by Berndt Friberg for Gustavsbergs Studio

Sweden, 1975

The blue hue reflects a high level of craftsmanship, a hallmark of Berndt Friberg's work. This attention to detail is further evident in the slight lifting at the base, which reveals unglazed stoneware—a classic feature of his pieces.

Berndt Friberg (1899–1981) was one of Sweden’s most revered ceramic artists, celebrated for his delicately thrown stoneware and masterful glazes. Working for Gustavsberg, a major Swedish porcelain and ceramics manufacturer, he developed an extraordinary precision in both form and surface treatment, elevating his work to an art form.
