Rörstrand East India Tea Towel

Rörstrand Ostindia Black - Dish Towel 47 x 70 cm

The decorative design of the Ostindia collection was inspired by a porcelain plate recovered from the cargo hold of the Swedish East Indiaman "Götheborg," which sank during a trip to China in 1745. Many years later, the wife of the then manager of Rörstrand discovered the shard in a cupboard at the factory and immediately recognized the potential of the design. Thus, in 1932, the fragment of the blue Chinese porcelain became the model for Ostindia - a service featuring an ultramarine pattern on a light blue background, framed by a warm rust-red border.

With Ostindia Black, a successor to the classic white and blue Ostindia dinnerware was introduced, which stands up to the original in every way. The black service exudes elegance and sensuality while simultaneously impressing with its modern and rejuvenated appearance.
