Hand-Painted "Boy‎ Holding Cat" Stoneware Figure (circa 1970s)

A highly sought-after and iconic vintage Lisa Larson "Passionate Pelle" (Boy holding cat) figurine, a cherished piece from her celebrated "Ungar" (Kids/Children) series for Gustavsberg, Sweden. Designed in 1961 and produced between 1961 and 1968, this is a genuine piece of Mid-Century Modern Swedish artistry. This particular figure is presented in its desirable and original unglazed stoneware finish, giving it a beautiful, natural, and earthy tone. This "no color" appearance is a distinct feature, not a flaw, showcasing the raw beauty of the stoneware and Lisa Larson's masterful sculptinag. Please note: This piece is meant to be unpainted, and any attempt to paint it would significantly diminish its collector's value. Measuring approximately 7" Tall x 3.5" Wide, "Passionate Pelle" captures a heartwarming moment, embodying the whimsical yet profound charm characteristic of Larson's work.
