Bio:
Vicke Lindstrand (1904–1983) was a Swedish glass artist, ceramicist and designer regarded as an important figure in 20th-century Swedish decorative arts. He began working at Orrefors in 1928 and later joined Upsala-Ekeby, where he created ceramic pieces distinguished by sculptural forms and decorative surfaces. In 1950, he became artistic director at Kosta, further developing his work in art glass. His production ranged from functional objects to experimental artworks, and his designs are represented in international museum collections.
