About
Most unusual 18th century Swedish Rococo faience topped Rörstrand tea table. The dished, molded, and shaped rectangular top decorated with blue flower decorations, on an elegant rococo stand on castors, with candle slides on each side. The faience top is in good used condition which is rare, circa 1760 Stockholm.
Rörstrand was founded in the castle of Rörstrand in Stockholm 1726 under the direction of Johann Wolff, a German porcelain maker. This makes Rörstrand the second oldest brand of ceramics in Europe (after Meissen, 1709). The production at Rörstrand was first made in faience. The first decors were in cobalt blue, inspired by porcelain from China and other foreign countries.
In the 1740s Rörstrand developed its own style and typical Swedish patterns such as the Nordstjärna pattern and the Rehnska pattern, designed by Gustav III:s architect Jean-Erik Rehn. Only after the first competitors appeared in the market, in 1758 the Rörstrand stamp was taken into use. Porcelain was sold at special porcelain shops, first of which was at the "Knights Market Square" in the Old Town of Stockholm.
France and the Rococo, where nature was a great inspiration, provided artistic inspiration in the spirit of Rousseau and Linnaeus. The porcelain was decorated with sculpted flowers, fruits, fish, etc as you can see on this wonderful faience top.
