Gustavsberg (Sweden) 'Berså' 12" Rectangular Platter/Tray | Designed by Stig Lindberg *RARE FIND*

Gustavsberg has manufactured porcelain since 1825. However, the Gustavsberg history originates from the 1600s, when Gustav Gabrielsson Oxenstierna and his wife, Maria de la Gardie, founded a brickyard in Farsta bay. In memory of Oxenstierna, Farsta bay later came to change its name to Gustavsberg. 

Throughout the company's long history (they're still in production today), a number of key and significant designers worked with the firm across the last century. Josef Ekberg (1877-1945), Wilhelm Kåge (1889-1960), Berndt Friberg (1899-1981) and perhaps the most well-known, Stig Lindberg (1916-1982) and Lisa Larson (1931-).
