Gustavsberg Malva Creamer & Sugar Pot

【Product introduction】
Malva is a mallow, a perennial plant with purple flowers. The sensibility of Wörquist, who boldly repainted it in red to imitate the flower, can be seen and hidden. It's quite difficult to arrange evenly arranged floral patterns artistically without looking childish, but the appeal of this product lies in how it's achieved through color and form.

You can see air bubbles at the bottom of the handle of the creamer at the time of manufacturing, and fluff around it. You can also see the black spots that were made during firing inside. Air bubbles can be seen around the sugar pot backstamp. Both of them show signs of aging on the base, but they are in good vintage condition except for manufacturing defects.
