Before flowerpot production became an industry in Sweden around the turn of the century 1900, there were a number of potters who made flowerpots, among other things. Typical of their handmade pots is that you can see the imprints of the potter’s hands in the ware. The hand-turning process produces low ridges on the surface that are visible both inside and out.

A hand-turned pot is not as rigid as a machine pot, it is more personal and has more life and variety. A detail that also reveals the real craftsmanship is the soft, rounded edge at the top. It can certainly be made by machine, but it will never be as soft and individual as on a hand-turned pot.

Gysinge’s small lion pots also have two lion mascots on the chest, a common decoration in the early 19th century.

Hand-turned pots and dishes with classic glazes. Fired in earthenware temperature which can cause cracking in the glaze over time. Glaze: copper oxide or tin oxide. Hole in the bottom for water drainage. Diameter pot and saucer about 16 centimeters, height about 15 centimeters.

TIP! As the pots are made of clay, they are not completely watertight. Place the pot on paws or similar to avoid moisture under the saucer. We do not recommend planting directly in the pot.

Towel unbleached

The traditional kitchen and toilet towel in “poor man’s suit” in classic white, blue, unbleached and red.

50% cotton, 50% linen of bleached quality with elements of bleached and unbleached yarn.

Shrinks about 7% on first wash. Machine wash recommended, preferably 90 degrees after heavy soiling, otherwise 40 or 60 degrees. Can be ironed or mangled. As towels, it is sufficient to hang them smooth after washing and then fold them. Stains are removed with linseed oil soap. Sold as towels in four different colors and as white napkins.

The towels from Gysinge have an interesting history. Until the 1980s, Gysinge was a nursing home run by the county council. To create employment for the 60 or so mentally ill people who stayed at the home, there was, among other things, a weaving room. Many of the inmates spent a long time in the weaving room, which gave them a more meaningful existence – and the county council a cash injection. At the home, real fabrics were woven, not therapy work in the modern, negative sense. For example, all the curtains, tablecloths and napkins were woven for the reopening of Gysinge Manor in the 1960s. This towel fabric is a so-called sieve weave (the pattern looks like a sieve – but only appears after washing!), woven to order for a guesthouse in Järvsö in the 60s. The weaving method is also called poor man’s cloth, a weaving method that produced a fabric that looks much more exclusive than it really is. The weaving method is very old and produces a highly absorbent and durable fabric, which has always been used for towels and tablecloths. The fabric is most beautiful if you mangle it, then the shiny linen threads in the weft are emphasized, against the duller warp of cotton. The quality only becomes more beautiful the more you wear the fabric.

Towel white

The traditional kitchen and toilet towel in “poor man’s suit” in classic white or blue. The sturdy napkin for everyday and party.

One of the contradictions of the fabric is that as towels it gives a slightly old-fashioned robust character, while as a well-mangled tablecloth it gives an exclusive feeling of “Oh my, what’s this?”.

Flower pot red

Hand-turned flower pot with barrel of traditional variety. Red flower pot that was developed as a special product for Christmas a few years ago but is now part of the regular range.

Flowerpot production became an industry and mass production in Sweden around the turn of the century 1900. Before then, all pots were made by hand, as were the saucers. The profession was called pottery.

Typical of handmade pots is that you can see the potter’s hands in the ware. The imprints from the hand-turning process create low ridges on the surface and show through on the outside. A hand-turned pot is therefore not as smooth as a machine pot, it is more personal and has more life and variety.

A detail that also reveals the real craftsmanship is the soft, rounded rim at the top. It can certainly be made by machine, but it will never be as soft and individual as on a hand-turned pot.

Kitchen stove rod brass 80 cm complete

Rod to attach above the kitchen stove for kitchen utensils, potholders etc. Can also be used as a towel rack in the kitchen, or in the bathroom. The model was common from the late 19th century until the 1930s.

MATERIAL Highest quality. Sand-cast brass. Polished shiny surface, but not lacquered. The brass darkens over time if not polished.

Length with knobs 80 cm

MOUNTING The wall brackets have sturdy iron screws (3.5 mm) that are carefully screwed into the wall. The hooks and brackets are then screwed onto the bar. Last of all, tighten the screws that prevent the bar from rolling.

TIP The bar can be shortened by sawing it off. It can also be connected to another pole if you want a longer version. In this case, you should use a so-called coupling sleeve and place a wall bracket over the joint.
