An irresistibly charming ceramic owl by Swedish artist Inger Persson, made for Rörstrand Ateljé in the 1960s. Small in size but big on character, this hand-painted piece is defined by its wide, vivid blue eyes, speckled stoneware surface, and stylized expression. A round, weighty little sculpture with a presence that far exceeds its 8 cm height.
Signed on the base and crafted by Rörstrand’s art department, this is a rare and highly collectible piece by one of Sweden’s most iconic ceramicists. The saturated turquoise glaze, organic form, and graphic detailing capture that sweet spot between modernist cool and playful charm. Perfect as a gift, a desk companion, or a standout accent in any curated shelf setup.
