Bio:
Friedl Holzer-Kjellberg (1905–1993) was an Austrian-born Finnish ceramicist, born in Leoben, Austria. She joined Arabia in Helsinki in 1924 and worked there for most of her career until around 1970. She is best known for her rice porcelain, in which small translucent perforations in the body are filled with glaze so that the pattern glows against the light, and for her unique stoneware and porcelain pieces with experimental glazes.
