It is Rörstrand, named Viktoria and it is all I know. I am interested who designed it and was it, as I assume, made after princess Victoria´s birth? If so, an?y idea how long it was on the market?

Hi, Moppe,
I'm would say that this is a type of coffee set that was very popular in the 60's. If it is bought in a smaller shop for household utensils, it means it has rested on the shelves for about 15-20 years. The VDN-mark means: P = Feldspar, First number=hardiness against crazing, second number = hardiness towards acidic food, third number = tolerance to machine washing.

I don't think the name has anything to do whith the Crown Princess, unfortunately. There are a number of coffee sets with different names that never appear in the listings, because they were so many and they never got documented.

However, this is a high quality china set that is worth all appreciation. The model is made by swedish ceramist Carl-Harry Stålhane, but the decor-designers name remains lost. Probably forever.

Thanks for showing us!

Thank you Peter S!

Mystery solved at last! What you wrote about the set having been unsold for 15-20 years makes sence to me. My father-in-law always used the same shop for gift shopping. The shop was rather big but had a vast selection, usually only one set per model.

Thank you!
