Sylvia Leusovius was a prominent Swedish potter who gained fame in the 20th century (1915-2003) for her ceramic plates with sunflower motifs. Lisa Larson is famous for her Nordic ceramic plates, but from the 1950s to the 1970s, Leusovius also created her own unique ceramic plate designs. His works are designed with a focus on adorable animals and plants. This is a work that expresses sunflowers in blue using a unique sense of color. The thick black glaze on the background reflects the light dully, making the sunflowers, which usually look blue and cold, look white and warm instead. Unlike Lisa Larson, Sylvia's work is rare and rarely seen on the market.

Sylvia Leuchovius
Silvia Leuchovius ( Sylvia Leuchovius, 1915-2003)
Born in the Småland region of southern Sweden. Originally, he wanted to become a clothing designer and took up a job as a dressmaker, but at the age of 30, after studying art graphics at the Faculty of Fine Arts at the University of Gothenburg in the southwest, he changed his job to Rorstrand. He established himself as a unique artist, setting himself apart from mass production lines by manufacturing ceramic plates and still life paintings in-house. Although he has an unusual background as a designer, it is clear that he was highly regarded within the company, as he was entrusted with the design of Rorstrand's 250th anniversary model. Her ceramic motifs and her university background match those of Lisa Larson, and she has a distinct presence in the Nordic art scene.
