This duo of sweetly adorable and hand-decorated fox sculptures is by leading Swedish ceramicist and designer Lisa Larson (b. 1931 - ) from her Skansen series designed in around 1976-1978. Larson is famous for her Modernistic animal sculpture designs that has created many popular series such as Stora (Large Zoo), Lilla (Little Zoo), and Skansen (Nordic Zoo) for Gustavsberg Ceramics.

The elegantly rounded yet sleek forms with gentle expressions really bring these works to life. The duo's Modernistic forms are beautifully complimented by the silky smooth, semi-matte Vanilla Cream glaze with only the bare minimum of detail depicted in the eyes or dustings of shadow.

This design is one of 14 in the series, ranging from elks to bears, wolverines and ponies and of course, foxes. The fox design is part of Larson's represented work at the Swedish National Museum
