Sven Wejesfelt, Blue Stoneware Vase, Gustavsberg, Sweden 1992
About the Item
Sven Wejesfelt, Vase with a glossy glaze of blue, Gustavsberg , Sweden 1992 Impressed "Swen" "G (hand) " UNIK 92.
This is a vase work by Sven Wejesfelt, an artist who worked at the Gustavsberg pottery in Sweden. Wejesfelt worked as a wheelwright at the Rorstrand pottery from 1946-53 before moving to the Gustavsberg pottery in 1953. After working as a wheelwright for Stig Lindberg for a long time, he was appointed Art Director of Gustavsberg in 1974.
Unusually for a Scandinavian potter, he wheel-thrown, glazed and fired all of his work himself, and is the second most famous Swedish potter after Berndt Friberg. He continued to make pottery until his death in 2009, and in his final years he sold his glazes and recipes.
This vase is covered entirely with a bright blue glaze, which is then covered with a double layer of darker blue glaze, which mixes with each other. The glaze has a complex look, except from the shiny surface, with fine lines running down neatly from the mouth to the base. Unlike Friberg's glaze expression, the glaze flows in a way that is uniquely his own creation. The shape is like a glass jar, with the mouth extending from the cylindrical body.
The vessel has been examined by an expert by UV light and visual inspection to ensure that there are no repairs and that it is not twice kiln fired.

- Sven Wejesfelt, Large Blue and Red Stoneware Bowl , Gustavsberg, Sweden 1991By Sven WejsfeltLocated in Tokyo, 13Sven Wejesfelt, Large bowl with a glossy glaze of mixed blue and red, Gustavsberg , Sweden 1991 Impressed "Swen" "G (hand) " UNIK 91. This is a large size bowl piece by Sven Wejesfelt, an artist who worked at the Gustavsberg Pottery in Sweden. Wejesfelt worked as a wheelwright at Rorstrand from 1946-53 before moving to Gustavsberg in 1953. He worked as a wheelwright for Stig Lindberg for a long time, and in 1974 he became the Art Director of Gustavsberg. He is a rare Scandinavian artist who throws, glazes, and fires all of his own work, and is famous in Sweden as the second most famous potter after Berndt Friberg. He continued to make pottery until his death in 2009, and in his final years he sold his glazes and recipes. This large bowl is entirely covered with a bright red cinnabar glaze, which is then covered with a double layer of bright blue glaze, blending with each other. The bright blue glaze is covered with a fine white furrow that gives it a vivid and lively appearance, as if oil paints had just been applied to it. The cinnabar glaze appears on the bottom and around the base, and the red of the prospective vase is particularly vivid. The contrast between the blue and red is so strong that it takes your breath away when you look into the vase. The glaze is slightly viscous, and when you touch it with your finger, it is raised, giving an uneven surface. This piece was exhibited in the exhibition "Modernism and Mingei: Nordic Ceramics...Category
