This is a milk pitcher from the Matilda series designed by Lisa Larson for Gustavsberg in the 1960s. It is a cute item with a round, raccoon-like shape. It is a sister item to Lisa Larson's tableware from the same period. There is a model called "Josephine" , but only cups are produced for Josephine.

The Matilda series is the only Lisa Larson tableware series that was produced as a series of tableware. Matilda includes cups, teapots, plates, sugar bowls, creamers, and candle holders in the shape of a pig. The bottom is hand-signed by Lisa Larson. This is a rare piece that also has the company name Gustavsberg written on it.

Lisa Larson (1931-2024)

A world-renowned Swedish ceramicist, he was born in Härlunda, a village of about 500 people in the Älmhult district of Kronoberg county in the Småland region in southern Sweden.

As a child, she aspired to be a fashion designer, but after enrolling at the Gothenburg Academy of Art, she studied ceramics. One day, she was discovered by Stig Lindberg at a competition, and after a one-year probationary period, she officially joined Gustavsberg as a designer. Shortly thereafter, in 1955, she released the Lilla Zoo series, and in 1964, she came up with the Afrika series, famous for its lion statues.

Lisa Larson has not only worked for Gustavsberg, but has also provided designs for Höganäs, the major domestic retailer Åhléns, and the German ceramic manufacturer Rosenthal. After leaving Gustavsberg in 1979, she became a freelance artist, working on a voluntary basis with companies, rather than as an exclusive contractor, and continued to work freely in various fields. In 1979 and 1981, she held solo exhibitions at Seibu Department Store in Tokyo, and the 1981 exhibition was visited by a total of 70,000 people.
