About the Item

Rare and highly sought-after, this complete set of five ceramic figurines comes from the iconic La Linea series by Osvaldo Cavandoli, originally crafted between the late 1950s and 1970s. A true gem for collectors of 1960s ceramic figurines, these glossy flame-red sculptures embody the witty, expressive spirit of Cavandoli’s celebrated animated character. Each figurine presents a different playful pose — walking, laughing, sulking, gesturing boldly, and embracing — instantly recognizable to fans of Cavandoli’s work. Their stylized forms are both minimalist and deeply expressive, making them captivating pieces of mid-century modern art. Marked with the original CAVA engraving on the back, these handmade ceramic sculptures are authentic collectibles in excellent vintage condition. A must-have for fans of Italian design, retro art, or 1960s ceramics, this La Linea set captures a unique moment in design history with humor, charm, and unmistakable style. item. ceramic figurines maker. osvaldo cavandoli period. 1960s/70s country.
