Ingrid Magdalena Atterberg-Göransson (1920–2008) was a Swedish ceramic artist known for her innovative work in stoneware and her own ceramic studio in Uppsala, which she established in 1969. She was a key figure in mid-20th-century Swedish ceramics and made significant contributions to both industrial and studio pottery.
Atterberg introduced manganese clay in the late 1940s and chamotte in the mid-1950s, expanding the textural possibilities of Swedish ceramics. Her experiments with clays and glazes culminated in 1957 with the development of sintered stoneware, a technically stoneware product fired at lower temperatures, making it more affordable to produce without compromising durability or aesthetic quality.
From 1944 to 1963, Atterberg was a leading artist at Uppsala-Ekeby AB, one of Sweden’s most prominent ceramic manufacturers. She also worked for Karlskrona and Gefle Porcelain Factories from 1952 onward, creating influential series such as Tricorn, Pylon, Negro, Grafika, Västkust, Chamotte, Mimosa, Pastell, and Vienna. Her work combined technical innovation with refined form and decoration, earning her recognition both in Sweden and internationally.
