■ Product introduction
Gustavsberg's Thelma series was developed in Sweden in the 1950s with the concept of "pottery that can be used over an open fire". Thelma has coffee pots and teapots, but this is a two-handed pot. It was developed as a cooking appliance for cooking in the kitchen, and as a tableware that can be served as it is when brought to the dining table. It is an invention of Swedish postmodernism, which can be said to be the forerunner of modern time-saving tools. It is suitable for cooking as an earthenware pot, but it is also suitable as a container for storing potatoes and other vegetables. "FLAMELDFAST" around the emblem means "heat resistance".

About Stig Lindberg
Stig Lindberg (1916-1982)
Lindberg was born in Umeå, a central city in northern Sweden, and studied painting at the Konstfack art school in Stockholm. In 1937, he joined Gustavsberg and studied under his teacher, Wilhelm Koge, and 12 years later, in 1949, he succeeded Koge as the company's art director. Since then, Lindberg has produced numerous works as a flag bearer of Swedish modernism in the middle of the 20th century. The Gustavsberg workshop in the era when Lindberg was active has reached its heyday, and even now the works of that time are recognized as works of the golden age called "mid-century" and have high value. Lindberg's studio was called G-Studion, and young painters showed their skills. Lindberg retired in 1980 and opened a workshop in Italy where he retired, but died there two years later.
