An Overview of Hertha Bengtson's Rosmarin Series
Hertha Bengtson designed Rosmarin (Rosemary) in 1957 during the golden age of Swedish ceramics. The flintware series was then manufactured by the Rörstrand company until 1966. It consists of tableware parts with classic forms and linear relief pattern. They come with a glossy uni-colored glaze: gray, pink, white, or brown. Rosmarin shares models with the Capri series (yellow glaze).
On the lower sides, the parts are marked with Rörstrand, Sweden, and Rosmarin. Which of Hertha's objects is your favorite?
