Berndt Friberg was a renowned Swedish stoneware artist. He began working for Gustavsberg in 1934 and eventually developed a reputation as the master of Chinese inspired modern ceramics. He worked at the Gustavsberg factory until his death in 1981. Friberg hand-threw many of his own pieces but also produced a series of designs that were made in small production runs by the Gustavsberg studio in the 1950s and 60s. His works are rare and collectible and remain in high demand.
