This bowl is from the "Caroline" series, designed by Lisa Larson for Gustavsberg in 1964. Caroline is a series of tableware that includes vases, soup plates, candlesticks, etc., but this is a rather rare bowl (soup plate) in the series. It has a cute round shape and is large enough to fit in both hands.
Caroline has a chic design based on blue, with a geometric pattern hand-painted all over. It is covered with a thin transparent glaze, and the contrast with the vivid navy blue is reminiscent of the texture of Imari ware, a Japanese dish. It was originally a bowl, but can also be used as a small item holder.

Manufacturer: Gustavsberg Series: Karolin Designer: Lisa Larson Year: 1964-1971 Condition: ★★★★☆ (4.5: Very good condition)
When held up to the light, there is a slight scuff near the center of the bowl's interior, but there are no chips, cracks, or crazing, making this an extremely beautiful piece that retains its original condition. The original sticker is still intact, and the deep indigo color and luster of this piece are particularly beautiful among Carolin pieces.
