Bio:
Gefle Keramikfabrik, later part of the Upsala-Ekeby group, became known for its functional and modern ceramic objects. During the 1960s and 70s, the factory produced series marked by simple, sculptural forms and deep glazes, reflecting the Nordic design ethos of the period. Today, these pieces are sought-after for their craftsmanship and characteristic mid-century expression.
