Rörstrand has been making porcelain in Sweden since the 1700s, and the Ostindia pattern is one of their most enduring designs—delicate blue florals inspired by fragments of porcelain recovered from a shipwreck in the 18th century. It’s the kind of pattern that feels both storied and easy to live with, equally at home on a formal table or a casual breakfast tray.

This little covered butter bowl carries that history in a very usable form. Perfect for butter or jam, and yes—if the mood strikes, caviar.

Likely from the 1930s, light wear as expected with age.
