Glazed stoneware.

In 1917, Gustavsberg hired Kåge to make its dinnerware and other everyday products more beautiful—he would serve as the company's Artistic Director until 1948. During this fruitful period, the ceramist created an enormous number of celebrated designs in innumerable new glazes and original aesthetics. In 1949 he was awarded the Prince Eugen Medal for design.
