A rare series of coffee cups called Boro from the famous Swedish kiln Gustavsberg. Boro is a limited edition model distributed as a novelty by Borohus, a Swedish housing manufacturer in the 1970s. It was distributed to Borohus' customers as a not-for-sale item, not for general circulation.
Boro's tableware series includes coffee cups, tea cups, bowls, Multiple sizes of plates were produced. The form of the cup and saucer follows the Gustavsberg form of the same period, and only the surface design is newly written. This cup has the same form as the Emma series, which was also produced in the 70's.
Since 1970, the Gustavsberg logo has been an anchor without a rope. I don't know the exact date of manufacture of the boro, but judging from the back stamp, it is believed to have been made in the 1970s due to the no-rope logo. (For more information on the logo, see this blog post → History of the Gustavsberg logo. )
Designed by the company's legendary designer, Stig Lindberg. Lindberg is a designer with an extremely wide range of expressions, from realistic designs to simple modern patterns like the Bertha series, and elaborate and surreal designs like the Eros series. common The characteristic of Ndberg's work is that the transfer paper with the same design pattern is enlarged or reduced according to the size and pasted.
On the other hand, the major feature of this Boro series is that a different transfer paper design is created for each piece of tableware. Each piece of tableware has a different scene, such as a plate that depicts a family living in a house, a bowl that depicts a scenic house without a portrait, and a teacup that depicts a happy couple. Although the Boro series is not for sale, you can see that a lot of effort was put into its creation.
This coffee cup is decorated with a heart-shaped wreath of plants and possibly lilies. About the sense of size Many Nordic vintage tableware are smaller than those used as coffee cups in Japan. This cup has a capacity of about 100ml and is perfect for drinking strong Nordic coffee.
