This ceramic plate by Vicke Lindstrand (1904–1983) showcases his unique approach to form and decoration, seamlessly blending figuration with expressive, painterly techniques.

A highly influential Swedish designer, Lindstrand made significant contributions to both glass and ceramics. After pioneering the development of Graal glass at Orrefors in the 1920s and 1930s, he transitioned to Upsala-Ekeby in 1942, shifting his focus to ceramics. During this period, he introduced a modernist sensibility to Swedish pottery, creating decorative ceramics with hand-painted designs, often featuring stylized figures—exemplified beautifully in this piece.
