During the 1950s-70s they have all created some timeless art ceramic interior design items in forms of art objects, figures and vases, highly appreciated, still all over the world, generating them a special status in the lovers of modern Scandinavian design as well as retro and vintage lovers. Yet the history of the company is very old. Rörstrand porcelain was one of the most famous Swedish porcelain manufacturers, with production initially at Karlbergskanalen in Stockholm, Sweden. Formed as a company in 1726, Rörstrand soon became the number one of the nation's largest ceramic factories. As time progressed, they became more and more prestigious and produced goods for various royal households all over Europe. The fame gained meant that they could constantly reinvent themselves and be in the forefront when it came to various designs. Their heyday as contemporary and mid-century modern design company started in the 1930s, when the focus partly shifted from producers of household goods to pure interior design objects. They soon became cutting edge and the world started to be appreciative of their sleek, elegant and sophisticated style. Stig Lindberg and Lisa Larson are perhaps the reason why Swedish Pottery has gained international fame, and for good reasons!
