Adding a touch of nature and whimsy to your interior, this charming little Tremar pottery lion is a favourite for collectors and animal lovers alike. Tremar, based near Cornwall, typically produced hand-thrown domestic ware before the 1970's. In the mid-1970's and following much expansion, attention turned to moulded collectable pieces of various series including people, vehicles, and animals - from which this lion belongs.
Not unlike Lisa Larson's preceding Zoo series produced by Gustavsberg, which featured animal figurines in chamot glazed stoneware, this Tremar example has distinctly exaggerated and friendly features. The scale in particular is beautifully balanced and finished in a smooth, earthy glaze.
Bursting with personality and in perfect condition.
