1960s Karla Coffee/Tea Set Designed by Sven Erik Skawonius for Upsala Ekeby Made in Sweden
This lovely, rare Scandinavian coffee/tea set was designed in the 1960s by Sven Erik Skawonius for Karlskrona (Upsala Ekeby). The style is known as Karla and is hand-painted with bold pink stripes (pattern 5223). This set consists of a coffee pot/teapot, creamer, sugar, 6 cups, 8 saucers and 8 small plates. What makes this set even more endearing is that it was once a wedding gift to a couple more than 40 years ago.
