Apparently it's an armadillo. Another one online if you google "Lisa Larson Porcelain Armadillo For Gustavsberg"

I guess she had never seen one, going by that horse tail!

by **rocco** November 24th 2014, 4:55 pm

Yes, found that armadillo too (quite optimistic prizing, btw).
But you don't usually see armadillos with horse tail, horse's mane or saddlecloth, so I would stick with horse...

From the earlier list the Mushroom mark = Marianne Preissler as decorator. Some minor scratches to the mirror but I'm not fussy. No damage otherwise.

I haven't seen one of those before!
Is it rare?

by **22 Crawford St.** December 23rd 2014, 8:20 pm

I've been hoarding it for a while. They are not common, not seen one on ebay but I'm sure you an get one from Sweden if you really wanted one. Finding it undamaged is so nice.

I thought I would share some of my nicer things for Christmas. Gustavsberg (Sweden) - Page 4 910958

Have a browse through ebay - there is very little Stig and most of the pieces coming up are chipped cracked or restored. If you paid top dollar, enjoy, they will be worth a lot more in a year! BTW - I don't think they are ashtrays, they are more likely to be little hors d'ouvres dishes.

Hard to find (at reasonable prices) - averaging one every 1.5 years! Spectrum one sold on ebay for jaw-dropping price a while back. Kirks has some nice patterns there, as he posted earlier you can't pick and choose - just have to buy them when you see them.

by **dantheman** April 2nd 2016, 5:40 pm

I sold mine on ebay last year at an unreasonable price £113.00 which is odd because I bought it from a well know t.v expert the year before for £30.00

A Berndt Friberg Vase from 1965

by Ross4130 May 20th 2016, 8:42 am

I recently bought these from a well known auction website, they are apparently from Kage's own estate sale. Has anybody seen anything similar before?

by **NaomiM** May 20th 2016, 11:26 am

Very nice. As far as I can determine, Wilhelm Kage had his own pottery. So if they came from his estate it means he bought them from Gustavsberg rather than made them himself.

by **denbydump** May 20th 2016, 12:43 pm

He was art director at Gustavsberg from 1917-1949.
He designed the "Argenta" wares.

Thanks for the info, I've been told that the red "G" pottery mark means they are test pieces do you know if this is true?

by **22 Crawford St.** May 20th 2016, 4:47 pm

Yes they stand out Gustavsberg (Sweden) - Page 4 847164

Perhaps Emily or Kirk will know?

Interesting.
These plates have the 'hand' mark, so wouldn't they be by Stig Lindberg ? (Lindberg is the more collectable of the two). And they seem post WW2, after Kage.

by **denbydump** May 20th 2016, 6:20 pm

Stig worked under Kage from 1937-49. Maybe they were a gift.

by Ross4130 May 20th 2016, 6:44 pm

I can't find any information on the auction they were bought from and I have searched the Internet for similar dishes with no luck.
Could they be a one off?
