Further details
Described in contemporary reports as 'functionalist', Dahlskog's streamlined vessels achieved acclaim at the major exhibition of Art and Industry in Stockholm, 1930. Some designs were exhibited the following year in London at Dorland House, where they can be assumed to have had an assertive influence on English ceramacist Keith Murray's subsequent designs for Wedgewood from 1933.
