A limited edition of 400 flower vases produced by Lisa Larson in 1993 at Gustavsberg's in-house workshop, Keramik Studion (K-Studion). Lisa Larson left Gustavsberg in 1979 and worked as a freelancer, but was welcomed back to the company with a high treatment of providing an environment where she could concentrate on her own creative activities. It is a limited item produced by Lisa Larson, who has already become a world-famous artist, at a high level of technology.
Only 400 pieces of this work were produced in 1993 under the series name of Marine. A masterpiece with apple-like red stripes and lush green stripes vividly coloring the milky white body. The stripes are hand-painted and evenly colored, demonstrating the high level of technical skill.
Lisa Larson's works in the 90's were different from the mid-century period of the 20th century. Many of the works before that have relatively dark tones, but this work is a particularly wonderful work with vivid colors that have never been seen before.

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.
