Catalog: Vintage Arts: Decorative Art (60)

This 8 page pamphlet is essential for any collection of faience pieces for Gustavsberg. While Stig Lindberg designed the faience vases, bowls, and platters, he only painted a few of these himself. Other artists painted the decorations on all others and marked their work with their own specific insignias. Only with this reference source does one know for certain which artists employed at Gustavsberg painted what faience object. An absolutely indespensible guide. FREE SHIPPING.
