In SvD, Gotthard Johansson wrote “It is almost as if one were greeted by the pure spirit that once reigned in the most cultivated shop for Nordic applied art. Signe Persson is a potter of the purest kind, she has a clear and conscious sense of form that saves her from all the temptations of ceramic folk art.”
