Three sets of eyes in the nursery - two watchful, one cheeky. These stoneware owls —Klot (“ball”), Knip (“wink”), and Burr (“ruffle”)— were designed by Edward Lindahl for Gustavsberg in 1962. They are beautifully finished in oxide washes with sgraffito detailing, and marked with the Gustavsberg studio hand and the initials EL.

Edward Lindahl (1907–1986) was an illustrator, set designer, sculptor and wood carver. In the early ’60s he designed the Minerva owl series for Gustavsberg, one of Sweden’s major ceramics houses. Gustavsberg, long a hub of Scandinavian ceramics production, frequently commissioned artist-designed decorative objects as counterpoints to its functional lines.
