An Overview of Stig Lindberg’s Aster series
Stig Lindberg (1916–1981) designed more than 150 models and decors for the Gustavsberg factory. One of the most well-known series is Aster that was designed in 1972. It was manufactured from bone china until 1974. The series is adorned with a joyous blue or red flower decor.

A selection of Aster objects
The Aster series is once again manufactured at Gustavsberg since 2018. It is still made of bone china 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.
