Stig Lindberg's charming coffee cup with saucer, stylistically pure shape, and green bird pattern. It was designed as part of the famous "Turtur" series in 1972.
The coffee cup comes from the present production at the Gustavsberg Factory in the Stockholm archipelago. It is skillfully handcrafted according to the area's long-standing pottery tradition.
"The best way to grow your taste is to love the beautiful intensely."
Each coffee cup 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.
The Turtur series is represented in the reference guide "The Large Book about Stig Lindberg" which is shown in the photos.
An example of legendary Swedish porcelain design!
