Rörstrand Celebrates 300 Years in Blue

Rörstrand continues its 300-year celebration with a focus on blue and white, a palette that carries the brand from spring into summer. This season sees the return of one of its most iconic archive collections as Blå Eld is relaunched, alongside an expansion of the Swedish Grace glass collection in a new blue shade. Together, the releases highlight Rörstrand’s heritage and its ongoing commitment to contemporary design.

Blå Eld, designed by Hertha Bengtson and produced between 1951 and 1971, remains one of Rörstrand’s most beloved series. Known for its relief-patterned surface, asymmetrical forms and deep cobalt tones, the collection introduced a unique color concept: white for what one ate or drank from, blue for plates, bowls, jugs and serving pieces. Today, it stands as one of the brand’s crown jewels; a classic that continues to be highly sought after.

“Blå Eld shows how Rörstrand’s design throughout history has been ahead of its time,” says Malin Herdevall, Brand Manager at Rörstrand. Relaunching the series during the anniversary year underscores the brand’s ability to honor its heritage while evolving for future generations.

The Swedish Grace glass collection, introduced in 2025, now arrives in an elegant blue tone that harmonizes with Rörstrand’s classic patterns, including Blå Eld and Ostindia. The color enhances the collection’s characteristic relief pattern, giving each piece a more defined expression. Mouth-blown and mold-shaped, the glasses and carafe balance precision with a handcrafted feel. The carafe receives additional hand-finishing at the neck and rim, while the glasses, made from robust and thick glass, remain practical for everyday use and refined enough for festive settings.

Designed by Rörstrand’s in-house team, the pieces carry the familiar Swedish Grace language: a rounded base, tulip-shaped opening and subtle relief. The result is a collection that complements the brand’s porcelain while standing confidently on its own.
