It is a figure of the children of the world series produced by Lisa Larson for UNICEF fundraising. This is an original product manufactured in 1974, the first year. Gustavsberg Lisa L. SWEDEN is engraved on the bottom and the Gustavsberg seal remains on the side.
Compared to the modified version , the original feature is that the clothes are dull. The modified version is beautifully decorated with white glaze all over, while the original glaze is intentionally smudged. I hate to say it, but even in the Children of the World series, black children were decorated to look shabby. In the revised version, we reexamined such points and changed the glaze to make it look beautiful. Please also see the reprint version. Although it is a small ceramic statue, the expression is full of vitality and the power is felt in the eyes. It is truly Lisa Larson's modeling power that gives life to a small ceramic statue.

Lisa Larson
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.
