Is Rorstrand made in Sweden?
1 Answer

No, Rorstrand was made in Sweden and was considered one of Sweden’s oldest porcelain manufacturers, founded in 1726. Unfortunately, the company decided to close down their manufacturing plants in Sweden and move them to Hungary and Sri Lanka. The old factory is a Rorstrand museum today and owned by Fiskars.
