This is a classic Bersa sugar pot from Gustavsberg, a long-established Swedish tableware manufacturer. Stig Lindberg created this leaf pattern design in 1961. This is a vintage product. Bersa (Besho, Bersho) means arbor, and is a space set up in a corner of a park for people to take a break. In Northern Europe, where there are many winter days, this warm design lets you feel the fresh greenery.
There are reprint versions of Bertha, but the main difference is the lush green color of the leaf stalks. The reprint version has a lighter green color than the vintage version. Also, this sugar pot is not being resold in the reprint version. This item is missing the lid, but you can use a cork lid instead.
