It was time to take out all my Cathrineholm pots and pans today and give them a good clean.
And put them back on display.
In memory of the fantastically creative woman who designed them (although the Cathrineholm Lotus pattern items were not her own favorite pieces of work). Grete Prytz Kittelsen will remain one of the most inspiring Norwegian designers of all times. She died three weeks ago at 94.(Portrait photo borrowed from Dagens Næringsliv)

You are a lucky woman to have such a collection! Wonderful photo and tribute.
oh i didn't know she had died. yes, a wonderful woman. in last week's episode of mad men they had a few lotus bowls on their conference table, they were serving snacks in them. i loved seeing that. x
Lovely pots and pans. I have two, and I don't clean them very often ;-)
I agree, what a lovely collection and a fitting tribute post.
Oooh! What a great collection you have!
fy søren for en fin samling!
funnet på loppis?
Thank you all for your nice comments :-)
To answer Knøttehusets question: Yes, I've found most of these at fleamarkets and also on ebay over the years. I started collecting them before they were as popular as they are now, and they were not too expensive.
I missed the news of her passing. She was a brilliant designer. You have a wonderful collection!
