Old swedish china; Rörstrand and Gustavsberg

We love old swedish china, especially from Rörstrand and Gustavsberg. Our parents collected it and now we also collect it. It runs in our blood to collect things it seams...
I went to the big flee market in Gustavsberg this weekend and there was a lot of nice old china for sale. For example I bought 12 plates of the purple "Fasan" from Gustavsberg for only 200 sek. At the same time I've been doing a big cleanup amongst my porcelain and have decided to only collect these three series; "Svala" from Rörstrand, "Wexiö guld" from Gustavsberg and the purple "Fasan" from Gustavsberg. So let's begin the hoarding!

If you for any reason want to buy new products, visit their websites:

Or if you want to read more about the old Swedish series, here is a great article from "Antik Världen" (only in swedish):

Here are some of the pieces I would like to add to my collections:
