AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
An iconic and highly collectible design by the legendary Swedish designer Lisa Larson for Gustavsberg: this charming miniature lion from the famous Africa series, designed in 1964, is regarded as a beloved classic within Scandinavian design.
With its distinctive, almost sculptural, bulbous form, naively expressive shape language, and warm earthy glazes, this object embodies everything Lisa Larson is internationally celebrated for. The stylized lion head with a characterful facial expression and decorative mane motif gives the work a playful, almost poetic appearance.
Manufactured in glazed stoneware with beautiful nuances in honey, sand, and olive tones. The subtle color nuances and hand-finished details make each piece unique; that artisanal character is precisely what collectors love.
This is an early and very nicely executed piece with the original Gustavsberg sticker, underscoring authenticity and collectible value. Despite its modest size, this object possesses a striking sculptural presence and fits effortlessly within both a Scandinavian interior and a serious design collection.
Lisa Larson's Africa series is among her most iconic designs and is globally highly regarded by collectors of vintage Scandinavian ceramics.
A special and timeless collectible with museum-grade allure.
Dimensions: H 5.5 cm x W 5 cm x D 5.5 cm
Weight: 84 grams
Condition
In nice vintage condition with light, age-appropriate signs of wear; presents very beautifully. It will be securely packed for smart shipping, sent with registered mail and insured, with tracking.
