北欧の匠が手がけた ヴィンテージの逸品
This ceramic tile was produced in a limited edition of 800 pieces by Sylvia Reuchovius, a famous Swedish ceramic artist who made a name for herself in the 20th century. While Lisa Larson is famous for Nordic ceramic tiles, Reuchovius is known as an artist who designed ceramic tiles with her own unique sensibility between the 1950s and 1970s.
This piece is designed with a double layer of petals in the center, with blue petals spreading out all over. The LA73 markings on the back are a symbol that specifies the form design and color pattern. A limited number of pieces were produced, but each piece was created in the atelier. Strictly speaking, no two pieces are the same.
On the back of the product, the Rörstrand brand logo and the initials of the designer Silvia Leuchovius, SL, are handwritten by her. Below that, it is signed Atelier Sweden to indicate that it was made in Rörstrand's Swedish atelier.

Sylvia Leuchovius
Silvia Leuchovius ( Sylvia Leuchovius, 1915-2003)
Born in the Småland region of southern Sweden. Originally, he wanted to become a clothing designer and took up a job as a dressmaker, but at the age of 30, after studying art graphics at the Faculty of Fine Arts at the University of Gothenburg in the southwest, he changed his job to Rorstrand. He established himself as a unique artist, setting himself apart from mass production lines by manufacturing ceramic plates and still life paintings in-house. Although he has an unusual background as a designer, it is clear that he was highly regarded within the company, as he was entrusted with the design of Rorstrand's 250th anniversary model. Her ceramic motifs and her university background match those of Lisa Larson, and she has a distinct presence in the Nordic art scene.
