DescriptionDescription: Friberg’s glazes possess magical depth like a celestial sphere of cosmic dust. The blue-purple shimmering titanium and copper glaze is named after the writer Harry Martinson’s sci-fi epic Aniara from 1956, a metaphorical and existential comment on the fate of humanity. The action takes place on the spaceship Aniara, and the glaze makes you think of galaxies in outer space. Beskrivning i boken "Gustavsberg, Nationalmuseums samling", Nationalmuseum 2023:
