Hertha Bengtson designed "Koka Blå” (Cook Blue) in 1953 during the golden age of Swedish ceramics. The series was then manufactured by the Rörstrand factory from 1956 to 1988.

Rörstrand was founded in the castle of Rörstrand in Stockholm in 1726. (This makes it the second oldest ceramic factory in Europe after Meissen). A consortium of twenty wealthy noblemen and merchants financed Johann Wolff, a German porcelain maker, to start the factory. The project was part of the strong mercantilist current in the early 18th century Sweden - the goal was to make the country as self-sufficient as possible.
