Here’s my absolute favorite set of playing cards designed by the Swedish ceramic designer, Stig Lindberg. He was not only a ceramist but a glass designer, textile designer, industrial designer, painter, and illustrator.
This set is absolutely amazing. Each suit set (clubs, diamonds, hearts and spades) has a different illustration with a great amount of detail. I really love all his work and specifically fond of this particular set which took me a while to get a hold of. I hope you enjoy this one as much as I did.

If you haven’t seen the El Al playing cards designed by Jean David I’d recommend you take a look.

Hi Sandi, thanks for stopping by. Glad you like it. You got quite a blog there too!
I have a set of these cards, what are they worth? One of the two decks is still sealed.
Hi Simon. That’s great that you have a set still sealed. One of my decks is sealed too. Unfortunately, I don’t know how much they are worth.
No problem Betty, thanks for stopping by. I am a huge, huge fan of Stig’s work!
