PERIOD SET OF SIX SCANDINAVIAN AFTERNOON TEA TRIOS FROM THE SWEDISH STUDIO OF RÖRSTRAND

PERIOD SET OF SIX SCANDINAVIAN AFTERNOON TEA TRIOS FROM THE SWEDISH STUDIO OF RÖRSTRAND

ORIGINATING FROM THE “ALBA” SERIES THAT I BELIEVE WAS DESIGNED BY EITHER MARIANNE WESTMAN OR SIGRID RICHTE IN THE LATE 1950’S / EARLY 1960’S

FEATURING A BEAUTIFULLY DELICATE REPEATING LEAF PATTERN IN SUBTLE OLIVE TONE HIGHLIGHTED WITH BLACK PINSTRIPING AGAINST A CRISP WHITE BACKGROUND

A DESIGN VERY SIMILAR TO STIG LINBERGS “BERSA” RANGE FOR ANOTHER SWEDISH STUDIO “GUSTAVSBERG”

INCIDENTALLY RÖRSTRAND’S “EDEN” RANGE DESIGNED BY THE GERMAN ARTIST SIGRID RICHTE HAS A VERY SIMILAR LEAF PATTERN TO THIS “ALBA” SET WITH RITCHTE JUST HAPPENING TO ALSO HAVE WORKED AS A FAIENCE PAINTER AT GUSTAVSBERG BEFORE MOVING TO RÖRSTRAND IN THE MID-1950’S

THIS SET CONSISTS OF SIX SIDE PLATES, SIX CUPS AND SIX SAUCERS

ALL SIX CUPS ARE STUDIO STAMPED BENEATH AS NOTED
