Vase from the reptil series by stig lindberg for gustavsberg, published in the 50s. Very good condition. Engraved under the base. Presented here in a beautiful pale blue color. A rare and emblematic piece of scandinavian design. Stig lindberg's "reptil" vases belong to a series produced from the 1950s. Lindberg frequently reinterpreted natural occurrences with organic forms; these tall sculptural pieces have a pattern similar to a snakeskin. Stig lindberg was one of the most influential swedish ceramists of the post-war years. His creations include individual pieces of art as well as decorative production items, illustrated by numerous earthenware models and utilitarian items. In 1949, lindberg became artistic director of gustavsberg, the famous swedish porcelain company founded in 1826. He began his career as an assistant to wilhelm kåge in gustavsberg. Kåge had discovered the young lindberg who, like kåge himself, was initially a painter.
