One the major Swedish porcelain factories that produced much of the famous wares that created the ‘Scandinavian look’ in the 100-year span from the 1870’s was Bobergs Faience Factory in the small town of Gävle. This comprehensive volume is the definitive history of the factory, its production and its designers until the 1960’s when the business closed. Nicknamed Bo Fajans, the factory and its town are a microcosm of industrial and social development in Scandinavia in our century, and bear parallel witness to the development of a modernist crafts philosphy and style. Exquisite photographs of exquisite art pieces by Allan Ebeling, Maggi Wibom, Eva Janke Björd, Gabriel Burmeister, Ewald Dahlskog, Maude Fredin-Fredholm, Eva Jancke Björck, Berit Ternell and many more . Extensive biography of each artist and their marks.This is an amazing resource for the collector and every one interested in design and ceramics.

This book catalogs the 138 works included in this exhibition from artists such as Carl Larsson, Bruno Liljefors, Yngve Berg, Birger Lundquist, Isaac Grünewald, and Georg Pauli, to name a few.
