Berså - Utility porcelain became a collector's item

Berså was manufactured by Gustavsberg in between 1960 and 1974 and became one of Stig Lindberg's greatest and most well spread successes.

The modern pattern with it's stylized green leaves made the service rise quickly in popularity when launched in 1960.

 

The sales where however slightly faded when it was shown that the ceramic glaze badly sustained dishwashing. Today, there are many bleached pieces of the Berså porcelain that could not withstand to be washed in a dishwasher.

 

The service was manufactured in large numbers and can still be found among retailers. The state of the porcelain however varies. Collectors are known to pay large amounts for parts of the service in good shape.
