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 also makes a dice figurine in Gustavsberg, but the design is exactly the same, and this one is a glass version. It has a horizontal form and a chunky body that gives it a solid feeling. The streak-like wrinkles engraved on the face give Lisa Larson a unique cuteness. 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.

The original seal remains on the back, and it is a very beautiful product that retains its original appearance without cracks, chips, or scratches.

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.
