I especially love the border of tiny little arrows and the wonderful sculptural berry shaped handle at the center

Edvard Lindahl for Gustavsberg Sweden Stoneware Owl minimalist I love this wonderfully creepy-cheerfulThis charming little stoneware owl is one in a trio designed by Edvard Lindahl for Gustavsberg Sweden in the 1960s. Lindahl (1907 1986 ) was a cartoonist, set designer, illustrator, sculptor and woodcarver. In the 1960's, Lindahl did work for both Rrstrand and Gustavsberg. He made drawings of stoneware for Rrstrand, and his well known owls made at the Gustavsberg Studio. His art is represented at the National Museum and Malm and Eskilstuna Museums.
