The flintware series contained 17 jars, a pepper shaker and a sugar sprinkler. The objects had rounded shapes, colorful small town motifs and wooden lids. The motifs were taken from Anita's hometown of Lidkoping, where her father Gunnar was a well-known artistic director at the Rorstrand factory. Seven of the cans were made for the English-language market. The last jar - "Melles marmalade" - was added as late as 1990. Our small town, with its typical warm-hearted expression, has become a classic among many retro collectors.
