Bruno then settles in Vetlanda where in 1951 he started Hllinge Ceramics together with Ragnar Carlsson, formerly employed at Syco in Strmstad. They were not related. Bruno was in charge of the turn, while Ragnar was glazing & burning. The manufacture consisted mainly of articles of use & ornaments, often in pastel colors. Bruno leaves the workshop in Vetlanda in 1962 & moves to Strmstad. There he works for a period as a pivot at Syco, before being employed at Rrstrand in Lidkping. Ragnar Carlsson continued to operate Hllinge Ceramics alone until the early 1970s. in 1973 Bruno started working on EGO Stengods. There he mainly devoted himself to the manufacture of uniquely hand-turned stoneware, preferably slim 1930s / 40s style vases according to himself. He stays at EGO Stoneware until 1985. During the period 1985-87 he is back at Rrstrand, after which he & his wife start their own pottery workshop in Lidkping. The items manufactured at EGO were signed BK & at Hllinge Ceramics the signature HK or label was used. EGO stengods was founded 1966 & closed down 1988. They were situated in the Swedish town of Lidkping. Bruno Karlsson For Ego Stengods - Vintage Modernist Table Lamp Sweden 1960s
