Sky Terrier figurine produced by Lisa Larson at Gustavsberg from 1977 to 1979. In Gustavsberg, there was a department called G-Studion, where well-known designers such as Stig Lindberg and Lisa Larson produced artworks, apart from the mass-produced line.
The series name Kennel means a kennel, and there are multiple dog breeds in the series. Reprints have also been produced, but this is an original vintage product produced between 1977 and 1979. The expression is intentionally drawn in black, and the round eyes are beautifully expressed in the sky terrier's hairy eyes. There is also a reprint version, but the vintage is characterized by a darker and darker expression of the eyes. Lisa Larson's technique as a sculptor who expresses cuteness while deforming well is shown.

Lisa Larson (1931-2024)
A world-renowned ceramic artist representing Sweden. Born in the village of Härlunda, in the Älmhult district of Kronoberg county in the Småland region of southern Sweden.
When she was young, she aspired to be a clothing designer, but after enrolling at Gothenburg University of the Arts, she studied ceramics. One day, he was discovered by Stig Lindberg at a competition, and after a one-year trial period, he officially joined Gustavsberg as a designer. Shortly after, in 1955, he announced the Lilla zoo series, and in 1964 he devised the Afrika series, famous for its lion statues.
In addition to Gustavsberg, Lisa Larsson has also provided designs for Höganäs, domestic retail giant Åhléns, and German pottery manufacturer Rosenthal. After leaving Gustavsberg in 1979, he was active in various fields while continuing his creative activities freely, taking the position of a freelance artist under a voluntary contract with a company rather than an exclusive contract. In 1979 and 1981, he held solo exhibitions at the Seibu Department Store in Tokyo, and his solo exhibition in 1981 is said to have attracted 70,000 visitors.
