Cute grumpy 2024 vintage Swedish Jie ceramic figure Sparrow Designer Erik Engquist Stoneware bird sculpture Scandinavian pottery gift Sweden MCM

Moody or just lost in thought? Cute in either case :)
Designed by Erik Engquist for the Swedish 2024 Jie in the 1960s.
The colours are lighter, more subtle and "cloudy" in real life.
Circa 7 cm x 7 cm x 7cm.
Nice vintage condition, some production flaws on the rim of the base; a tiny hole (visible in picture 2) made for the firing.
