Collectible Vintage 1991 porcelain Christmas plate by designer Paul Hoff for GUSTAVSBERG Sweden / 23 cm.
In 1826, the wholesaler Herman Öhman tore down the old brick mill and started a porcelain factory on the site. His plan was to supply the growing Swedish middle class with porcelain goods. However, there were major production problems in the factory, and the quality of the produced goods was substandard. No artists were recruited, and the Gustavsberg pottery was highly influenced by German and English shapes and decorations.
Paul Hoff, a ceramics and glass artist, was born in 1945 in Stockholm. He was educated at the city’s University of Arts, Crafts and Design in 1963–1968 and, after that, was hired by Gustavsberg’s Porcelain Factory in 1969–1974.
