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 F555 quality mark.

Its deep round form and matching lid make it ideal for keeping side dishes warm at the table, from steaming potatoes to garden vegetables, all while showcasing the elegant forest green florals that have defined Swedish dining for decades.

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 border along the rim and lid.
- The tureen features integrated handles for easy transport and a lid with a central knob, perfectly proportioned to balance the tureen's substantial round base.

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, slight variations in colour or thickness are authentic hallmarks of a handcrafted ceramic process.

3. Uses & Versatility
- Beyond serving vegetables, this tureen is a versatile addition to a home.
- It can serve as a sophisticated soup server for smaller gatherings or as a beautiful countertop piece for storing fresh bread or fruit.
- Because it carries the VDN F555 rating and is marked "UGNSSÄKERT" (Ovenproof), it is designed to move from the kitchen to the table with ease.

4. The VDN Quality Code
This tureen features the prestigious VDN F555 backstamp, the highest Swedish certification for technical quality:
- F (Flintgods): High-quality flintware material.
- 5 (Crazing Resistance): The highest possible rating, indicating the material's resistance to glaze cracks.
- 5 (Acid Resistance): Fully resistant to food acids and staining.
- 5 (Dishwasher Safety): Fully machine washable at temperatures up to 75°C.

5. Care Instructions
Since these pieces carry the high VDN F555 rating, they are remarkably durable for vintage ceramics, but they still benefit from thoughtful handling to preserve their lustre.
- Dishwasher Safe: These items are officially rated to be fully machine washable at temperatures up to 75°C.
- Ovenproof Capability: This tureen is marked as "UGNSSÄKERT," meaning it is technically safe for oven use.
- Avoid Thermal Shock: To prevent stress to the flintware, avoid moving the piece directly from a cold refrigerator into a hot oven.
- Gentle Cleaning: While dishwasher safe, using a mild detergent will help maintain the deep forest green clarity of the pattern over time.
- Storage Advice: We recommend using felt protectors between stacked pieces to prevent surface scratches or "stacking wear" on the glaze.
