Karl Svensson was a Swedish ceramist and designer associated with Höganäsbolaget during the early to mid-20th century. He was active during a time when the company transitioned from traditional utility ware to more artistic stoneware. His pieces are typically marked with "Höganäs" and his initials, and he is recognized for his craftsmanship and contribution to the classic Swedish stoneware tradition. Today, Karl Svensson’s work is sought after by collectors of Scandinavian ceramics.
