Stoneware tea service "Oliv" by Berit Ternell for Gefle, Sweden (1966)

Exceptional and extensive tea service from the iconic "Oliv" series, designed in 1966 by Berit Ternell for the Swedish manufacturer Gefle Porslinsfabrik (Upsala-Ekeby group). A centrepiece of mid-century Scandinavian design, this set is distinguished by its minimalist lines and deep olive green reactive glaze. The brutalist and organic aesthetic of the stoneware fits perfectly with current wabi-sabi and Japandi trends. The set is offered without saucers, giving the cups a contemporary look, ideal for everyday use as minimalist mugs. Composition and dimensions (14 pieces): 1 Teapot with lid: Height 14 cm|Width 23 cm|Weight 830 g. The underside shows the original potter's marks, evidence of artisanal kiln firing. 12 Cups: Height 6 cm|Diameter 9 cm|Weight 300 g (each). Well-made, thick, and pleasant to hold. 1 Sugar bowl. Condition: Very good vintage condition (GVC). The stoneware is sound, with no chips or cracks in the glaze, retaining all its original shine. Note: a microscopic chip ("fleabite") on the upper rim of one cup, invisible in use.
