1936

Bengt Erik Berglund (born 1936), is a Swedish ceramist, sculptor, and enamel artist. He is known particularly for his tenure at the Gustavsberg Porcelain Factory from 1960 to 1982. After his departure, he embarked on a successful career as a freelance artist. Berglund's tenure at Gustavsberg was characterized by the creation of a unique ceramic universe, infused with marine inspirations, a whimsical sense of humor, and keen social commentary.

Berglund's contributions to the field have earned him a place in prestigious collections, including the National Museum in Stockholm.
