A true icon of Swedish ceramic design, the Grön Anna (Green Anna) pattern from Rörstrand features a beloved Neo-Rococo floral motif in a deep forest green. This specific collection is the modern 1964 redesign by Carl-Harry Stålhane and carries the prestigious VDN quality mark, reflecting the high standards of the "Great Dining Era" of Swedish porcelain.

The Finishing Touch: Complete your table setting with this elegant Creamer and Lidded Sugar Bowl set. Perfectly proportioned for a morning coffee or a formal afternoon tea, these pieces provide a sophisticated way to serve dairy and sweeteners with timeless Swedish style.

Dimensions

1. Creamer
- Height: 6.8 cm
- Length (spout to handle): 9.7 cm

2. Sugar Bowl & Lid
- Diameter: 10.2 cm
- Height: 7.3 cm

Condition

1. Creamer:
- Excellent vintage condition with a bright, clear glaze and no signs of crazing or wear.

2. Sugar Bowl:
- Lid & Base: This piece exhibits visible crazing (fine hairlines in the glaze) on the exterior of the lid and the underside of the base. This is a natural result of the aging process in vintage flintware.
- Interior: The interior of the bowl remains clean and free of crazing.

Structural Integrity: Both pieces are free of chips, cracks, or professional repairs.

Authenticity: Both pieces are fully backstamped with the Rörstrand Sweden mark and their respective VDN quality codes.

Additional Information

1. Design & Features
- The aesthetic is defined by meandering floral sprigs across a crisp white base, finished with the pattern's signature decorative borders.
- The creamer features a graceful, sturdy handle and a refined spout for a clean pour, while the sugar bowl includes a well-fitted lid with a central knob, adorned with delicate floral clusters.

2. Craftsmanship
- Each piece carries the legacy of Rörstrand, Europe's second-oldest porcelain manufacturer, founded in 1726.
- These items were produced using traditional manual techniques, which Rörstrand notes can result in slight, natural variations in colour or thickness.
- As highlighted in their original consumer documentation, these are not flaws but authentic hallmarks of a handcrafted ceramic process.

3. Uses & Versatility
- While designed for cream and sugar, these versatile pieces can be adapted for modern serving needs, such as offering individual portions of sauces, dressings, or honey.
- Their robust flintware construction ensures they are durable enough for daily use while remaining elegant for special occasions.

4. The VDN Quality Codes
This set features two distinct technical ratings:
- Creamer (F553): A high-quality flintware piece designed for hand-washing (45°C) and exceptional resistance to crazing and acids.
- Sugar Bowl (F555): The highest durability rating, tested for dishwasher safety up to 75°C.

5. Care Instructions
- Dishwasher Safety: The sugar bowl base is rated for dishwasher use; however, due to the delicate nature of the lidded sugar bowl and the creamer's specific rating, we recommend gentle hand-washing to preserve the glaze and decorative details.
- General Handling: Avoid extreme thermal shocks to preserve the lustre of the flintware over the coming decades.
