Stoneware Bird Figurine by Bengt Wall - Sweden, 1970s

A small stoneware bird with serious charm. Designed by Swedish ceramicist Bengt Wall and handmade in Trosa, Sweden, this piece blends smooth matte surfaces with glossy hand-textured wings. The details are minimal yet full of personality — a modernist take on folk figurines. Its tilted head and round, alert eyes give it a curious, almost questioning expression, like it's about to ask you something important.

Bengt Wall was a Swedish ceramicist based in Trosa, known for his handcrafted stoneware figures that blend Nordic folk tradition with modern form. His animals are quiet, compact, and full of character — each one slightly different, all unmistakably his. Wall created a range of stylised animals, often birds, known for their weighty feel, quiet warmth, and bold simplicity. We’ve seen a few over the years — but this one is hands down the most charming and expressive of them all.

This is a unique, handmade piece - only one available. A quirky little companion for shelves, windowsills, or any place that needs a bit of grounded calm. One of those objects that feels good to hold — and even better to live with.
