Flea market shopping

Yesterday me and Å went for a flea market tour in the area of Fornåsa and Motala. And I'm so, so, SO HAPPY about the pink tea/coffee pot I found for only 320 kr.


It turned out to be a pot in the Rosmarin series designed by Hertha Bengtsson for Rörstrand, produced between 1957-1966.

I've been looking for the pink coffee pot in the Sointu series by Kaj Franck for Arabia, produced between 1954-1959. The coffee pot is pretty much the only thing I'm missing for a complete coffee set. But it seems like it is impossible to find. So far I've only found one for sale...and that in Finland...and of course in the wrong color. 


But as far as I'm concerned my new pink Rosmarin pot is probably as good as it gets when it's not from the same series nor by the same designer. It has a slightly darker shade of pink...mostly because of the different types of chamfer. But it is still perfect and it probably is the most wonderful coffee pot in the world! 

Don't you agree??
