Hand-turned flower pot with barrel of traditional variety. Red flower pot that was developed as a special product for Christmas a few years ago but is now part of the regular range.

Flowerpot production became an industry and mass production in Sweden around the turn of the century 1900. Before then, all pots were made by hand, as were the saucers. The profession was called pottery.

Typical of handmade pots is that you can see the potter’s hands in the ware. The imprints from the hand-turning process create low ridges on the surface and show through on the outside. A hand-turned pot is therefore not as smooth as a machine pot, it is more personal and has more life and variety.

A detail that also reveals the real craftsmanship is the soft, rounded rim at the top. It can certainly be made by machine, but it will never be as soft and individual as on a hand-turned pot.

Hand-turned pots and dishes with classic glazes. Fired at earthenware temperature, which can cause cracking in the glaze over time. Glaze: copper oxide or tin oxide. Holes in the bottom for water drainage. Diameter pot and saucer about 16 centimeters, height about 15 centimeters.

TIP! As the pots are made of clay, they are not completely watertight. Place the pot on paws or similar to avoid moisture under the saucer. We do not recommend planting directly in the pot.

Towel white

The traditional kitchen and toilet towel in “poor man’s suit” in classic white or blue. The sturdy napkin for everyday and party.

This towel fabric is a so-called sieve weave (the pattern looks like a sieve – but only appears after washing!), woven to order for a guesthouse in Järvsö in the 60s.

The weaving method is also called poor man’s cloth, a weaving method that produced a fabric that looks much more exclusive than it really is.

The weaving method is very old and produces a highly absorbent and durable fabric, which has always been used for towels and tablecloths. The fabric is most beautiful if you mangle it, then the shiny linen threads in the weft are emphasized, against the duller warp of cotton. The quality only becomes more beautiful the more you wear the fabric.

One of the contradictions of the fabric is that as towels it gives a slightly old-fashioned robust character, while as a well-mangled tablecloth it gives an exclusive feeling of “Oh my, what’s this?”.
