Description: Swedish MCM Stoneware: Tobo, Erich and Ingrid Triller, Blue Grey Bud Vase German-born Erich Triller (1898-1972) and Swedish-born Ingrid Triller (1905-1982) were a well-known husband-wife ceramics team. They met during their studies in Germany between 1929 and 1934, where they were strongly influenced by the German Bauhaus movement. In 1935, they established a small ceramics workshop in Tobo, north of Stockholm, which they operated for more than three decades. Their approach was characterized by an eye for detail and keen attention to the work process, documenting every piece glazed and fired in a journal. They are known for their simple, clean functionalist forms and monochromatic glazes, harkening back to Sung-era Chinese ceramics traditions. This auction is for an exceptional bud vase from the Tobo workshop of Erich and Ingrid Triller. This vase carries a beautiful speckled blue grey glaze and is fully signed by the artistic with the "triller" Tobo hand-painted marks. The dimensions of this vase are approximately 3.5 inches high and 4.5 inches wide, tapering to less than 1 inch at the mouth. I would guess this piece to have been produced in the 1950s, but it could be as early as the 1940s and as late as the 1960s. This first quality piece is in excellent original condition, with no observed flaws. Please see the photos for further details on condition.
