Nordic tableware Rorstrand Mon Amie teapot MON AMIE Marianne Westman Rorstrand I fell in love with it at first sight and bought it because the handle is unusual for old overseas products, but it has been sleeping without being used at all. It is a vintage item. As it is tableware that has gone through time, I have listed it as having some scratches and stains, but I think it is in good condition considering the time it has passed. Among many products with cracks, chips, and cracks, it is difficult to find a product without any problems, so I think it is a good product that is hard to come by. I think it was quite expensive. I don't see it very often, so if you are looking for one, please do. (Description) In French, it means "lover/friend," so I wonder if it was designed for a close friend. It seems that Mon Amie was designed based on a sketch of Labrador tea flowers drawn at the end of a rainy summer in the 1940s. Labrador tea is a type of Rhododendron, and it also grows in Hokkaido and the high mountains of Tohoku in Japan. It is a low evergreen shrub that blooms beautiful white flowers, and it is said that it came to be called "Iso-tsutsuji" from the Rhododendron of "Ezo," the old name for Hokkaido. It's strange that a high-mountain plant that is not often talked about in Japan is the pattern of Mon Amie, which is known all over the world. The plump form and the soft, light indigo color with depth create an elegant atmosphere, and it is a masterpiece that represents Rorstrand. It has won gold awards many times in international shows and was produced for 35 years.
