A selection of Adam & Eva objects
The Adam & Eva series is once again manufactured at Gustavsberg since 2005 (Adam) and 2008 (Eva). It is now only made of bone porcelain according to the area's long-standing pottery tradition. Each object is fired in a kiln three times which results in a solid tableware that is both dishwasher and microwave safe. A portion of the proceeds from every object sold goes to finance new exhibitions at the Gustavsberg's Porcelain Museum.
