This charming stoneware sculpture of an owl is by world renouned sculptor and ceramicist Mari Simmulson
Mari left Gustavsberg in 1949, taking a position at Upsala-Ekeby. Together with Hjordis Oldfors and Ingrid Atterberg, she completed a trio of influential female designers who set the tone for the company in the fifties. Mari would remain at the factory until 1972, designing a variety of dishware, vases, wall plates, bowls, and figurines. She often opted for bold, colorful decor, offering a clear contrast to dark, unadorned pottery.
Today her work is sought after worldwide and this prime example of a piece from her Upsala Ekeby years in Sweden is a must have for any collector or lover of design. This example is bears the original makers mark to the base.
