Gustavsberg Linda coffee cup & saucer & cake plate trio

This is a vintage coffee cup from the Linda series from the famous Swedish kiln Gustavsberg. It is a space-saving model produced in the 1970s with a form that allows stacking (overlapping).

Gustavsberg has created historical tableware with two elements: form and color scheme. This work is by the hand of Stig Lindberg of the representative designer of the company. Linda is a female name that means "beautiful" in Latin, but it uses the same color glaze as Arena of the same type series, and the milky white base and vermillion contrast are beautiful.

Linda is only available in one size coffee cup. Usually coffee cups are small, but this one has a relatively large capacity.

The product backstamp is stamped with the VDN quality assurance mark. The VDN mark indicates that the product has passed the durability test by the consumer association Varudeklarationsnämnden . It is equivalent to the JIS mark in Japan, and was stamped on Swedish products between 1951 and 1973 .

The Gustavsberg logo on the back stamp is a design without a rope on the anchor that has been used since 1970. In other words, this product was produced between 1970 and 1973.
