Rörstrand “Berit” Hand-Painted Ceramic Butter Dish with Lid
Description
Add an authentic touch of mid-century Swedish modernism to your table with this beautiful vintage Rörstrand “Berit” ceramic butter dish with its original lid. Made in Sweden, the Berit series is highly prized by collectors for its striking, hand-painted botanical decor and bold retro character from the mid-20th century.
The pattern features an organic, stylized floral motif—expertly hand-painted with long, sweeping reddish-brown leaves centered around a deep green floral core, accented by complementary bold black motifs on the sides. Because each piece was decorated by hand by Rörstrand’s skilled artisans, every single butter dish carries its own unique brushstroke details and distinct rustic charm.
