Sylvia Leuchovius Mid century Ceramist

Sylvia Leuchovius (1915–2003) was one of Sweden’s leading ceramic artists in the 20th century.

She was part of the Nordic design tradition aiming for warm-hearted, humorous, and sometimes subtly ironic design.

After her studies at ”School of Design and Crafts” in Gothenburg, Sylvia worked for the Rörstrand factory for more than 20 years.

She became a prominent designer of figurines, wall plaques, and tableware – often with stylistic animal or plant motifs.

Sylvia’s artistry is represented at the Swedish National Museum of Art and Design.

Such a fun and quirky style.
