An Overview of Stig Lindberg's Karneval series

Stig Lindberg designed the ”Karneval” (Carnival) series in 1957 for the Gustavsberg factory. It was made of earthenware and consisted of 19 vases and 13 dishes. The objects came with cylinder, block, quadratic, or rectangular shapes. They had tin glazes with bluish-white tones and hand-decorated colorful surrealistic motifs. Each model came in many different color schemes. The motif figures were similar to those in Stig’s textiles, children book illustrations, and deck of cards. Karneval, with its era-typical expression, was produced in 1958–1962.
