Description
This exquisite gourd-shaped art nouveau vase is created at ST. ERIKS LERVARUFABRIKER, a legendary pottery factory based in Uppsala, Sweden. Created between 1910 and 1920, this piece embodies the elegance of the Art Nouveau movement with its organic forms and naturalistic design. The vase features a distinctive gourd shape, a hallmark of Art Nouveau design that emphasizes fluid, natural forms.
The background of the vase is finished in a soft beige glaze, providing a subtle contrast to the vibrant green grapes and black vine motif painted delicately on its surface. This intricate design adds a touch of nature-inspired beauty to the piece. Standing at approximately 14 cm in height, this vase is a perfect decorative piece for various settings.
Designed by Agda Österberg, a prominent artist of her time known for her contributions to ceramic and textile art. This vase carries the signature "ST. ERIK 94 UPSALA" and the model number 94, indicating its authenticity and origin from the ST. ERIKS LERVARUFABRIKER pottery factory.
While it serves as a stunning vase, this piece can also be used as a pot or planter, adding versatility to its decorative appeal. Produced during the early 20th century, this vase reflects the artistic and cultural trends of its era. The Art Nouveau style, characterized by its flowing lines and nature-inspired motifs, is artisticly captured in this piece, making it a valuable addition to any collection of antique ceramics.
This gourd-shaped vase from ST. ERIKS LERVARUFABRIKER is more than just a decorative object; it is a piece of art that brings together history, craftsmanship, and beauty. Whether used as a vase, pot, or planter, it promises to enhance any space with its timeless elegance and artistic charm.
ABOUT AGDA ÖSTERBERG
Agda Elisabet Österberg (1891-1987) was a Swedish ceramicist and textile artist, born in Stockholm on October 28, 1891. After her father's death in 1903, she lived with her mother on Sigtunagatan. Agda began her studies at Althin's painting school in 1909 and attended Konstfack from 1912 to 1914. During and after her studies, she designed ceramics for St Eriks Lervarufabriker in Uppsala and traveled extensively in Europe during the 1920s.
In the mid-1910s, Agda became interested in pattern drawing and joined Handarbetets Vänner in Stockholm, participating in exhibitions at Liljevalch's art gallery. She led the textile atelier Libraria and worked for Varbergs Stenkärlsfabrik in the 1920s.
In 1934, Agda and her husband Gunnar built a home and studio named "Tre Bäckar" in Varnhem. There, she created textiles, often with biblical motifs, for around 2,000 churches in Sweden. Agda continued her work until the mid-1970s and passed away on May 30, 1987, in Varnhem Axvall. Today, she is considered one of the top names in Swedish flatweave carpets.
