Bio:
Bo Fajans (founded 1874 in Gävle) was one of Sweden’s notable producers of decorative ceramics in the early 20th century. The factory is well known for its hand-thrown vases, bowls and figures, often featuring deep glazes and experimental surface treatments. During the 1930s and 40s, many models reflected a simple, functional modernist aesthetic that remains highly collectible today.
