This timelessly contemporary work of Swedish Mid Century design is by Mari Simmulson (b. 1911- d. 2000) for Upsala Ekeby. Simmulson was a celebrated Swedish ceramics designer and ceramicist, known for many series she designed at Upsala Ekeby which went on to become classics.

This hand-thrown and hand-glazed work comes from Simmulson's Peru series, designed in 1966. The series is characterised by the textured and tactile Chamotte earthenware forms, inscribed with Peruvian-inspired geometric symbols and jagged bands that encircle the body.

The glaze décor is a pairing of semi-glossed Chartreuse and matte Taupe that is further complimented by the semi-glossed Dark Espresso inscriptions. The form and décor of this piece are undeniably Modernist in design, highlighting the seamless harmony of function, form, and raw materials.
