A striking stoneware wall plaque by Tilgmans Keramik, Gothenburg, Sweden, 1960s. Crafted in the workshop’s characteristic sgraffito technique, the relief depicts a standing deer against a richly textured matte background, with vivid blue, turquoise and green glazed botanical details that contrast beautifully with the earthy tones of the stonework. The original leather hanging cord is intact.
One of Sweden’s most distinctive mid-century ceramic studios, Tilgmans Keramik was celebrated for its deeply textured surfaces and expressive sgraffito decoration. Each piece was individually handcrafted, making no two identical — this is a genuinely unique object.
