Britt-Louise Sundell (1928–2011) designed many classics for the Swedish Gustavsberg company. One of the most well-known series is Kreta (Crete) from 1961. It consists of stoneware bowls and vases. They have sturdy forms, mottled brown glaze, and white circular relief pattern.
The Gustavsberg porcelain factory was, for many decades, the largest ceramics maker in Sweden and home to some of the most innovative and ingenious makers of the past century. The company, founded in 1825, mass-produced a wide range of products: first decorative household items and tableware in the English style and later bathroom fixtures, including the first pressed-steel bathtubs that would oust heavy cast iron. But of first interest to collectors are the remarkable decorative works created in the Gustavsberg art pottery studio, in particular those by master ceramists Wilhelm Kåge, Berndt Friberg, Britt-Louise and Stig Lindberg. less
