Rörstrand Blue Koka

Blue Koka was designed for the Swedish maker Rörstrand by Hertha Bengtsson. The pattern is associated with Scandinavian stoneware and mid-century tableware.

It uses a simple blue botanical sprig on an off-white ground. The pattern was introduced in 1967 and is recognized as a Swedish mid-century design.

Blue Koka is a stoneware pattern rather than a fine porcelain service. Its blue botanical decoration and off-white body are useful clues when identifying a piece from the 1967 range.

Both patterns are associated with designer Hertha Bengtsson, but Blue Koka is identified by its blue botanical sprig and off-white stoneware. Blå Eld is a separate Rörstrand pattern, so the backstamp and decoration should be checked together.
