Gustavsberg Stig Lindberg G Studio faience double teapot

A hand-painted teapot in the 1950s in the workshop of Gustavsberg's flagship designer, Stig Lindberg. In Gustavsberg, there was a department called G-Studion, where well-known designers such as Stig Lindberg and Lisa Larson produced art works, apart from the mass-produced line. This is a work made in the atelier. You can see Lindberg's signature on the bottom of the pot . It is manufactured using a technique used in ancient Egypt called faience firing.

Faience ware is a pottery made of red clay that is dried and then immersed in a white glaze called tin glaze. It is a method devised in ancient Egypt, and it is the oldest method of making pottery using glaze in the world.

Today Gustavsberg is mainly made of hard white porcelain (bone china), but half a century ago, faience ware, which can be produced at a low temperature in the kiln, was also often produced. Due to its characteristics, faience ware is more fragile than general pottery, and it is rare for it to remain complete.

At the bottom there is a "G" hand sign indicating that it was made in Gustavsberg's studio (G-Studion). The marks on the bottom and inside of the lid are the signature of the artist Goffredo Nannini. Also, "F/79" on the bottom is a symbol that specifies the pattern design of painting, and "100" is a number that specifies the shape of the teapot.
