Sven Wejsfelt (1930-2009)

Sven Wejsfelt started his career working for Gunnar Nylund at Rörstrand (1946-53) and was later hired by Stig Lindberg at Gustavsberg, where he came to spend most of his working life (53-2008). He worked in a classic stoneware tradition with thinly thrown shapes and exquisite glazes, influenced mainly by the works of Gunnar Nylund and Berndt Friberg. 

Today, Wejsfelt is regarded as one of the last Swedish ceramists who developed and carried on the Chinese stoneware tradition which blossomed in Sweden during the 1930's–1960's. His pieces are included in several museum collections, including Nationalmuseum in Stockholm, the Copper-Hewitt Museum in New York, the Ceramic Museum in Faenza, as well as many private collections.
