Retro Ceramics - Scandinavian - Rorstrand/Upsala Ekeby/Gustavsberg (5 items)
Scandinavian ceramics from the 1950’s, 1960’s and 1970’s is such a diverse subject with so many well established and famous names all playing a big part it’s difficult to sum up succinctly. From Denmark there’s the top quality pottery and porcelain from Royal Copenhagen, Bing & Grondahl and Nymolle; Norway and Finland bring us iconic tablewear from Egersund, Figgio Flint, Stavangerflint and Arabia and, finally, from Sweden there’s Rorstrand, Upsala Ekeby and Gustavsberg – amongst others.

We intend to keep in stock a broad range of ceramics from all these famous companies (and the not so famous we haven’t mentioned) and to include work by legendary designers including Gunnar Nylund, Bjorn Wiinblad, Inger Waage, Marianne Westman, Hertha Bengtsson, Carl Harry Stalhane, Stig Lindberg and Lisa Larsson to name just a few.

Retro Scandinavian ceramics have quite rightly earned their place in history for fantastic design, functionality and style – and they’ve certainly earned their place here in Pips Trip.

1960s Decorative 'Birds in a Tree' Wall Plaque (Blue)
1960s Decorative 'Birds in a Tree' Wall Plaque (Blue)
This is from British Pottery 2

SOLD

Despite much research I'm afraid I've not yet been able to find out who designed or made this.  It takes the form of a charmingly decorated glazed circular wall plaque decorated with birds sitting on branches in a tree.  It has a John Clappison-esque feel to it but we know it's not a Clappison design - equally it could be by one of the Scandinavian factories.  We have another of these tiles with the same decoration but in a brown glazed colourway, also currently for sale.  We'd estimate them to date from the 1960s.   Please see all photographs for extra views and close-ups.

SIZE:   Diameter 6in/15cm
