Gustavsberg Eros Plate 25cm Platter F11

Eros is a masterpiece by Gustavsberg, a long-established Swedish tableware maker. A very detailed plate with a unique view of the world drawn with a light brown touch. Eros has a small plate of 19cm, a medium size plate of 21cm and a large plate of 25cm. This is the largest 25cm size in the series.

Lindberg's work is known as a classic work with a continuous pattern that is deformed as seen in Berså. However, the plate of Eros is made in detail, and each motif is very detailed and painted like a painting. The paintings of a man and a woman in love, fish swimming in a birdcage, birds chasing after them, and the crescent moon and flowers in the background are rather poisonous and surrealistic. It can be said that it is a unique design among Lindberg's works. Due to the short production period, it is difficult to obtain plates in good condition, but this time we received plates in very good condition.

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.
