Large ceramic vase, by Thomas Hellström for Nittsjö (1960-1970)

£620.00

Thomas Hellström (1924–2006) was a leading figure in 20th-century Swedish ceramics, working within the Nordic tradition of warm, expressive, and subtly humorous design.

After studying at Konstfack in Stockholm, he spent nearly five decades at the historic Nittsjö factory, one of Sweden’s most important ceramic workshops, renowned for its handcrafted stoneware rooted in folk tradition and everyday domestic forms. There, Hellström became celebrated for his animal figures, distinguished by softly rounded silhouettes and gentle, good-natured expressions.

His work is represented in the collection of the Swedish National Museum of Art and Design.
