Below are 5 pieces of Stig Lindberg
"Karneval" pottery from the 1950’s out of my collection. Digging
through boxes I found these five pieces of which I have many more. Stig has
always been a favorite as I am drawing to the more figurative or decorated
pottery from the mid-century.
Stig
Lindberg studied at the Swedish State School of arts, crafts and design in
Stockholm, hoping to become a painter. After graduating in 1937 he accepted an
employment as a faience painter at Gustavsberg pottery under Wilhelm Kåge. Kåge
became a major influence on the young Lindberg, and in 1949 he was named his
successor as art director at Gustavsberg.
It’s strange as I started collecting at the end of the 70’s
that you just don’t normally run into
these items like I use to. Sure you can buy online, but if I can’t touch and “feel”
the item, I can’t buy it.
