Stig Lindberg in Craft Horizons, 1954

In the October 1954 issue of Craft Horizons Arthur Hald, son of famed Orrefors Glass director Edward Hald, explored the life of Swedish ceramist Stig Lindberg, describing him as “one of the most convincing examples of design in our times.” The spirited, incisive piece provides a window into Lindberg’s personality, vision and versatility at the age of 38, while he was art director at Stockholm’s Gustavsberg Porcelain Factory.

Stig Lindberg

My fascination with Stig Lindberg began when my husband, Mike gave me a lovely piece from the Reptil collection for Valentine’s Day.

Stig Lindberg (Sweden, 1916-1982) created whimsical studio ceramics and graceful tableware lines during a long career with the Gustavsberg factory in Sweden. He achieved recognition for his eccentric forms and whimsical decoration.

I have collected most of my pieces from ebay. My collection is from the Reptil, Veckla, Pungo, Faience and Domino series.
