Additional Information

1. Design & Features
- The aesthetic is defined by its meandering floral sprigs across a crisp white base, finished with the pattern's signature scalloped rim on the saucer.
- The cup features a modern, slightly tapered silhouette with a sturdy handle and a recessed base, allowing multiple cups to be stacked securely.
- It is a design that balances mid-century practicalism with the timeless charm of traditional Swedish floral art.

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, meaning that no two pieces are identical.
- As Rörstrand’s own documentation notes, the unpredictable nature of the kiln fire and the hand-finished elements mean that slight variations in colour or thickness are not flaws. Instead, they are authentic hallmarks of a handcrafted ceramic process.

3. Uses & Versatility
- Designed for the modern home, these duos are as practical as they are beautiful.
- The stackable nature makes them ideal for smaller cabinets or open shelving displays.
- While perfect for a standard cup of tea or coffee, their robust construction ensures they can transition easily from a quiet morning to a busy family gathering.

4. The VDN Quality Code
This collection features the prestigious VDN F555 backstamp, a Swedish certification of peak technical quality:
- F (Flintgods): Confirms the material is high-quality flintware.
- 5 (Crazing Resistance): The highest possible rating, indicating no risk of glaze cracks.
- 5 (Acid Resistance): The glaze is fully resistant to all types of food and acids.
- 5 (Dishwasher Safety): Fully machine washable at temperatures up to 75°C.

5. Care Instructions
- Dishwasher Safe: Can be safely cleaned in a machine at temperatures up to 75°C.
- Stacking: The recessed base is specifically designed for safe stacking; however, we recommend avoiding "slamming" the pieces together to preserve the glaze.
- General Handling: To preserve the lustre over the coming decades, avoid extreme thermal shocks.
