This ceramic plate was produced in the atelier of Gustavsberg, a long-established Swedish ceramic manufacturer. Gustavsberg has an in-house atelier called G-Studion, where artisans produce ceramics one by one by hand, separate from the mass production line. This is a ceramic plate of a bird designed by Barrier Skøgi of Gustavsberg.
The silver glaze and yellow color scheme is impressive, and the silver has a metallic texture, giving it the feel of a metal print rather than a ceramic plate. It has a three-dimensional presence and is a perfect item to use as an interior accent.

Gustavsberg's G-Studion
Apart from the mass production line, Gustavsberg had a department called G-Studion. Famous designers such as Willhelm Koge, Stig Lindberg and Lisa Larsson created their artwork here.
Founded in 1942, G Studio was a group of artists, designers, craftsmen and illustrators whose activities ranged from creative work to exhibition ceramics, public space art production and industrial design. . It operated until 1993 and served as an ``aesthetic laboratory''. It was also responsible for providing design ideas for Gustavsberg's mass-produced products.
G-Studio was a renovated atelier in an old building from a ceramics factory in Gustavsberg, and was a hub for more than 100 artists and craftsmen. It is no exaggeration to say that Gustavsberg's ceramic tradition of the 20th century originated from here. It was a centerpiece of the Swedish art and design world and served as a breeding ground for new creativity.
Each piece of G Studio's work is handmade, and there are videos showing the production process. The video shows a man wearing round glasses, designer Stig Lindberg. And on the right side you can see Willhelm Koge, who was the studio director.
