Thomas Hellström – Animals from Nittsjö

An Overview of Thomas Hellström's Animals
Thomas Hellström designed about 100 animals for the Swedish Nittsjö Keramik company between 1958 and 2006. They all have rounded shapes with kind and slightly humorous expressions. The older animals are usually partly unglazed, unlike the newer animals that tend to be fully glazed. The figurines are marked with ”THO”, ”Thomas” or a bird symbol on the lower side.
About 30 of the animals are still made by Nittsjö Keramik today, all according to their long tradition of handcrafted pottery production. These are marked with an asterisk in the overview. So let’s get going!
