After a ship, which returned from China in 1746, sank for the coast of Göteborg, part of the cargo somehow ended up in a cupboard at the Rörstrand factory. Many years later, in 1932, the wife of factory manager Knut Almström found it and spoke the famous words: "Knut, I think it is worthwhile to make something of this. . . ". And that was how a shard of Chinese porcelain became the model for an iconic Rörstrand design. The classic Ostindia décor has stood the test of time and fads well, and it is still popular dinnerware. Will be packaged with care and shipped by registered post.
