Re: Gustavsberg (Sweden)
It's not one of the collectable Gustavsberg pieces so there isn't much info available online (at least, not in English).
This is the company history.
http://www.gustavsbergsporslinsfabrik.se/historik.php
I suspect the cup and saucer date from sometime in the 1930-50s.
The obscured letters look like Dlu, but I haven't found a list of factory backstamps to confirm that.

Re: Gustavsberg (Sweden)
Thanks for the info :) I was hoping to tighten up the date range. I found the bottom of this cup interesting as it is compleatly glazed, any comments?

Re: Gustavsberg (Sweden)
It's odd in that the mark (and the font used) don't seem to appear anywhere that I can find.
Gustavsberg is a town in Sweden and the factory that we know as Gustavsberg (AB Gustavsberg) started in the Oldberg factory, which has been in existance since the middle of the 17th century. From 1866 bone china was produced by them, making it the only factory in Europe outside of Britain where bone china has been produced. Benporslin on the bottom of your saucer is Swedish for bone china. That suggests that your cup and saucer was made there but then the letters before Gustavsberg on your saucer should be AB, which they don't seem to be.
From the end of the 19th century the factory developed its individual style and was modernist in design and feel, which your cup and saucer isn't. Before then it is stated that the factory made items in the English tradition and this suggests that your cup and saucer may date c1870.
I can't say that for certain and the other unknown is that AB Gustavsberg had a second factory, AB Gustavsberg Interessenter, and I do not known if they used different marks to the main factory. This second factory produced only household china rather than the more expensive items produced at the main factory and could have been responsible for your cup and saucer at a lated date than that which I have suggested above.

Apparently it's an armadillo. Another one online if you google "Lisa Larson Porcelain Armadillo For Gustavsberg"

Yes, found that armadillo too (quite optimistic prizing, btw).
But you don't usually see armadillos with horse tail, horse's mane or saddlecloth, so I would stick with horse...

Re: Gustavsberg (Sweden)
From the earlier list the Mushroom mark = Marianne Preissler as decorator. Some minor scratches to the mirror but I'm not fussy. No damage otherwise.
Re: Gustavsberg (Sweden)
I haven't seen one of those before!
Is it rare?

Re: Gustavsberg (Sweden)
I've been hoarding it for a while. They are not common, not seen one on ebay but I'm sure you an get one from Sweden if you really wanted one. Finding it undamaged is so nice.
I thought I would share some of my nicer things for Christmas.
