Bio:
Tilgmans Keramik was a Swedish ceramic workshop founded in 1948 by Paul Harald Tilgmann in Gothenburg. The company became known for its decorative ceramics featuring pronounced relief patterns, incised ornamentation and experimental glazes. Its production primarily included vases, bowls and wall decorations with both figurative and abstract motifs. During the 1960s and 1970s, the workshop developed a distinctive aesthetic characterised by graphic decoration, rustic surfaces and strong colour contrasts. Tilgmans ceramics are now sought after by collectors of mid-20th-century Swedish pottery.
