Collectible Antique 40s pre-war terracotta baking dish signed by designer Vicke Lindstrand for Upsala Ekeby Sweden.
Victor Emanuel Lindstrand, known as Vicke Lindstrand was a Swedish glass designer, textile and ceramic designer, and painter. He is considered a pioneer of Swedish glass art. His work was part of the art competitions at the 1932 Summer Olympics and the 1936 Summer Olympics. At Kosta, he was the dominant designer, lending his name to many now classic designs. At this point, Lindstrand began to inject more and more colour into his creations, which resulted in iconic designs such as Trees in the Fog and Autumn.
