Designer
Gustavsberg's ceramic factory was founded in 1825 at Värmdö. In the beginning the factory mainly created earthenware services with copper-printed decoration of English type. landscapes and castle motifs were common. By the mid 19th century the factory expanded and it began creating bone china and ironstone china. In addition to tableware, Gustavsberg manufactures decorative ceramics such as parian, majolica imitations, jasperware, and stoneware. From the 1800s Gustavsberg applies studio work with artistic collaborators such as Rörstrand. Wilhelm Kåge, Stig Lindberg, Lisa Larson, all of which have been tied to the factory. The designs which we most strongly associate with the factory is "Blå blom", "Pyro", "Argenta", "Berså", to name a few.
