An Overview of Hertha Bengtson's Blå Eld Series
Hertha Bengtson designed "Blå Eld" (Blue Fire) in 1950 during the golden age of Swedish ceramics. The series was then manufactured by the Rörstrand factory until 1971. It consists of about 40 tableware parts made of flintware with streamlined shapes and fishbone pattern relief. The glaze is unicolored in blue, white, red, gray, or green. The name of the series came partly from the flower "Blåeld" (Blueweed) and partly from Hertha's own strong, inner flame. Don't mix up Blå Eld with Louise Adelborg's similar series Swedish Grace from Rörstrand. Which of the Blå Eld objects is your favorite?
