This is a large size tea cup. This is the Anemon series from the famous Swedish kiln Rorstrand. This is a highly rare series that was manufactured for a fairly short period of time, from 1965 to 1968, with cute vessels decorated with anemone floral patterns.
It was a pop design in the 1960s, and considering the traditional background of Scandinavia, where traditional wreath patterns were the mainstream, Anemon's simplicity seems to have had an unorthodox aspect. Although it gradually began to gain popularity in the era after production was discontinued, Anemon has not been re-released to this day. Therefore, despite being a popular series, this work can only be obtained in the vintage market.
Anemon has a weak brown glaze, so paint loss is likely to occur and cutlery marks are easily noticeable. Coupled with the short production period, they are also highly rare and the number of them in good condition is gradually decreasing. There are also small coffee cups, but this is a large capacity tea cup. This time we received items in very good condition.
