Ingrid Atterberg (1920–2008) was a Swedish ceramicist and designer, known for her work at Upsala-Ekeby from 1944 to 1963. She was a pioneer in the use of new materials such as manganese clay and chamotte, and created popular series like "Grafika," "Negro," and "Chamotte." Her works are characterized by modern forms, experimental glazes, and strong craftsmanship. Today, she is considered one of Sweden’s most important ceramic artists of the 20th century.
