Rörstrand Ostindia Coffee Cup, 16 Cl

East India, voted "Service of the Century" in Sweden, owes its existence to hidden treasures. After a ship returning from China sank off Gothenburg in 1745, a porcelain fragment of the cargo somehow ended up in a cupboard of the Rörstrand factory. Many years later, in 1932, the wife of plant manager Knut Almström discovered it and uttered the famous words: "Knut, I think it might be worth making something out of it...".
