Rörstrand Ostindia Tekop, 27 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...". And so a shard made of Chinese porcelain became the model for an iconic Rörstrand design. Colour: White Material: feldspar Porcelain Dimensions: LxWxH: 10.4 x 12.6 x 0.152 cm
