I have included some info regarding the designer artist.
Gunnar Nylund (1 May 1904–1997) was a Swedish ceramic designer in the 1930s, best known as the artistic director of Rörstrand, and was a well-established ceramic artist in Denmark. In 1928 he started a ceramics workshop, which became Saxbo in 1930, which kept making his stoneware until 1932. Nylund worked for Rörstrand from 1931–1955, the majority of the time as artistic director
Over five decades, Nylund crafted some 30 reliefs and sculptures commissioned for public spaces. In the 1940s he was commissioned to do several freelance projects, including designing bathroom fixtures. In the early 1960s, Nylund returned to Copenhagen. There he started producing stoneware for Nymölle Keramiska Fabrik in Lyngby. After a change of ownership at Rörstrand in the mid-1960s, he re-turned to Nymölle as a freelancer, producing a more industrial class type of stoneware. At that time he also created Europe's largest stoneware fountain the “Scanisarius” in Bromölla, Sweden.
