This is a series of figurines called Baghdad produced by the art department of Gustavsberg, Sweden's leading pottery manufacturer. Designer Bertil Wallin is known as the person responsible for shaping the glass works at Costa Boda.
A total of seven types of objects were created for this Baghdad series. This is my second design of a tall hut. It is a long, narrow two-story house with a chic and cute design, with a spire shaped like a flower pattern on the top. Although Valeen was a young man in his 20s at the time of his creation, his ability to abstract and precisely express the characteristics of the architecture of the Arabian world gives us a glimpse of his talent.
■Details Manufacturer: Gustavsberg Series: Bagdad Designer: Bertil Vallien Era: 1960s Country of manufacture: Sweden Condition: For some reason, there is peeling of the glaze on one corner of the spire, which looks like a chip. In Baghdad, the product was characterized by the fact that the glaze on the corners was thin and easily peeled off, and was difficult to stick to. The body itself is in excellent condition with no major damage. We offer this product at a great price as it is a product with a certain reason.
