Claes Thell – Ceramics from Höganäs

Claes Thell (1943–2019) was one of Sweden’s leading ceramic artists in the 20th century. After his education and early work years at the Höganäs factory, he started his own studio in the area. Claes became a master of throwing and glazing, leading to unique stoneware pieces with rustic and rough expressions. His artistry is represented at the Swedish National Museum of Art and Design.
