This is a vintage teacup from the famous Swedish pottery manufacturer Gustavsberg. Gustavsberg has produced famous tableware with two elements: pattern and color scheme. This teacup was designed by the company's legendary designer, Stig Lindberg.
Stig Lindberg, at the height of his artistic maturity, produced the Rosenfeld series in 1969, which refers to his "Rose Garden." Because the pieces were produced over a three-year period, they are rare even in his native Sweden. The pieces are red and covered with scattered roses. The rounded edges of the cups and saucers create a graceful yet charming form.

Stig Lindberg
Stig Lindberg (1916-1982)
Born in Umeå, the central city of northern Sweden. Originally from Stockholm's art school Konstfack ( Learn painting at Konstfack. He joined Gustavsberg in 1937 and gradually rose to prominence under the tutelage of his mentor, Wilhelm Koge. Twelve years later, in 1949, he succeeded Koge as the company's art director in charge of design.
Since then, Lindberg has released numerous works as a standard bearer of Swedish modernism in the mid-20th century. During Lindberg's time, the Gustavsberg workshop was at its peak, and its works from that time are recognized as works from the golden period known as ``mid-century,'' and are highly valued. Lindberg's studio is called G-Studion, where young designers are demonstrating their skills and producing famous artists such as Lisa Larson.
