Bio:
Anna-Lisa Thomson (1905–1952) was a Swedish ceramicist, artist and designer who became a prominent figure in Swedish ceramic art during the first half of the 20th century. She joined Upsala-Ekeby in 1933 and created a range of distinctive ceramic works inspired by natural forms, flowers and plants. Her designs combined stylised motifs with soft shapes and refined colour combinations. She is particularly known for her decorative vases, dishes and ceramic collections, which are now highly sought after by collectors.
