Ingrid Atterberg was a prominent Swedish ceramic artist and designer, best known for her work with Upsala-Ekeby during the golden age of Swedish modernist ceramics in the mid-20th century. She played a central role in shaping the studio's aesthetic from the 1940s through the 1960s and became one of the leading figures in Scandinavian ceramic design.
Atterberg was known for her innovative approach, constantly experimenting with glazes, techniques, and forms. Her designs often featured clean lines, simple shapes, and abstract patterns, reflecting the modernist movement of the time. Atterberg was part of a wave of female designers in Sweden who redefined applied arts, blending fine art sensibility with utility. Her pieces are now seen as icons of mid-century Scandinavian ceramics—valued for their artistic integrity as well as their historic significance.
