Bio:
Nittsjö Keramik in Dalarna is renowned for robust stoneware and a strong tradition of decorative ceramics where form, glaze, and imagery are closely integrated. In the 1970s, Swedish workshops often embraced a more graphic and narrative expression with nature and animal motifs, and large dishes like this were commonly used both for serving and as wall display pieces.
