Mid Century 1950s Modernist Atterberg for Upsala Eckeby Swedish Modern Striped Tray Earthtones Nevada 8 3/4″ Wall Hanging Scandinavian
Designed by Ingrid Atterberg, leading designer for Upsala Eckeby, this is a lovely hand crafted earthenware tray in showy contrasting earth colored striped hand glazing. This Swedish modern striped effect was initiated by Atterberg in 1949 and carried into the 1950s whereupon she designed many products for Upsala Eckeby using this motif which has been referred to as "Nevada" given the comparison to the earthy colors of the Nevada landscape.
This personal hand tray is a lovely example of Atterberg's work and beautifully depicts the milk white to deep brown to golden striping that she is known for. It is from an estate where it has not been used in many years. Size is 8 3/4" wide across east to west by 6 3/4" north to south. Depth/height is 1/2". It could be used as a wall hanging to enhance your mid century decor. Also looks fine on a desk, accent table, vanity etc....It has one glaze flake on the very edge toward the underside which is quite small and measures about 1/8". This flake does not interfere with the earthenware structure which is fine and has no chips or flakes. We took an enlarged photos so you could see it clearly. Other than this the tray is in excellent overall condition. No cracks or chips. No breaks No repair. A lovely example of mid century Scandinavian artistry by a well known sculptural artist for your modernism collection.
About:
Ingrid Magdalena Atterberg-Göransson (b. 1920 - d. 2008) was a celebrated epitome of illustrious Swedish ceramic design of the 20th century and a leading designer for Upsala Ekeby in the 1950s and 1960s. Atterberg is represented at the Swedish National Museum of Art and Design.
In 1944, she was employed at Upsala Ekeby, where appreciation for her works as a ceramicist continued to grow over the years. She was known for using 'manganese clay' in the 1940s and chamotte in the 1950s, and successfully developed her own glazes. In the late 1940s, her own collection called "Ekeby Verkstad" was born with a numbered series that began at 100.
During her career, Atterberg had several exhibitions and received a gold medal for her work in Italy as well as completing a number of public commissions.
Vintage Mid Century 1960s 1970s Danish Modern Teak Wood Abstract Art Table Lamp Scandinavian Orange Colorful Free Form Enameled
This is a vintage 1960s to 1970s mid century hand painted enameled and teak Scandinavian Danish Modern table lamp. It is quite colorful with a flamboyant, showy mix of oranges, yellows, reds, blacks etc. One side is free form and the other side looks more like mid century drip art. The colors are brighter and more noticeable in person that what you see in photos. You can immediately see that it is from the mid 1900s. The teak wood has some wear to the finish which does not detract and can probably be oiled up once it is cleaned. This item is from an estate where it sat for many decades. It will need a green felt replacement on the bottom the original felt disintegrated and I wouldn't trust such an old style wire so you should probably rewire it. Overall condition is excellent. No cracks or chips or flakes. No damage or repair. Size is just about 24" tall. Without the harp the teak wood body measures 11" tall by 6" wide at the base. The enameled center is 6 1/2" square. This is a most unusual mid century lamp for your vintage modernist collection.
