A crystal glass figurine designed by Lisa Larson in the 1980s. After leaving Gustavsberg in 1980, Lisa Larson received requests from companies around Europe as a freelance designer. This is a glass object that I made at the request of a glass maker called Royal Krona in Sweden during my free time.
Lisa Larson makes animal figurines in Gustavsberg, but this is a rare bee figurine. Among the Royal Krona figurines, the number of production was small, so it is rarely seen. The main body is quite small. Lisa Larson's unique cuteness is brought out on a plump tail. This product is made of crystal glass with high transparency, and when viewed from various angles, the expression will be slightly different. Please enjoy it as an ornament.
■Details Manufacturer: Royal Krona Designer: Lisa Larson Age: 1980s Country of Origin: Sweden Condition: There is a small part on the side that looks slightly chipped. If you shine the light through the top of the seal, you can see the thread. There is no problem in viewing, but it is offered at a great price as a product with a reason.
■ Lisa Larson (1931- )
Born in a village called Härlunda with a population of about 500 in the Älmhult district of the Kronoberg county in the Småland region in southern Sweden. When I was young, I wanted to be a fashion designer, but after entering the Gothenburg College of Art, I learned ceramics. At one point, Stig Lindberg discovered him in a competition, and after a one-year trial period, he officially joined Gustavsberg as a designer. Soon after, in 1955, he announced the Lilla zoo series, and in 1964 he devised the famous Afrika series of lion statues.
In addition to Gustavsberg, Lisa Larson has designed for Höganäs, national retail giant Åhléns and German pottery manufacturer Rosenthal. After leaving Gustavsberg in 1979, he became active in various fields while freely continuing his creative activities as a freelance artist who entered into freelance contracts with companies rather than working exclusively with them. In 1979 and 1981, he held solo exhibitions at the Seibu Department Store in Tokyo, and it is said that 70,000 people visited the solo exhibition in 1981.
