Gustavsberg milk pitcher.
【Product introduction】
This pitcher was designed in 1973 by Gustavsberg's main designer, Stig Lindberg. The milky white glaze is soft, and I think it's perfect as a milk pitcher. Birka is the name of a Viking-era ruin on the island of Björke, a suburb of Stockholm. It prospered in trade around the 10th century, and it seems that many barrels of this shape were used at that time.

[About Stig Lindberg]
Stig Lindberg (1916-1982)
Lindberg was born in Umeå, the central city of northern Sweden, and graduated from the Konstfack (University of Fine Arts) in Stockholm. Konstfack) to study painting. 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.
