Medium Earthenware Vase with a Red Handle, Upsala-Ekeby, 1930s
Art Deco vase with a beautiful contrast handle, glazed earthenware, Upsala-Ekeby, 1930s.
Upsala-Ekeby was a flagship of Swedish ceramics from the start in 1885. Over the years, the company and its designers presented numerous art pottery and tableware classics.
Around 1920, Upsala-Ekeby began to recruit designers in an effort to raise its artistic standards. The World Exhibition in Paris in 1925 turned out to be an international breakthrough for Swedish utility art, but for Upsala-Ekeby, the breakthrough came later in the 1930s. In the ensuing decades, Upsala-Ekeby would become one of the brightest stars of the Swedish interior design world.
In the 1930s, Anna-Lisa Thomson (1905-1952) was the leading designer at the factory. Her work was innovative; testing new materials and decorative techniques, she developed a signature style with simple and clean shapes.
