About the Item

One day in the middle of the 1950s, Lisa modeled a cat with the tail straight up in the air. The cat was made of dark brown stoneware with carved stripes. This modernist figurine was followed by two other cats in the same style, typical for the period. They later became part of the series "Small Zoo", her first successful series at Gustavsberg. Here is a nice and heavy early hand-built studio version of this famous Larson design from that series circa 1956.
