Cathrineholm is an enamel cookware designed by Norwegian Grete Prytz Kittelsen. This fabulous Scandinavian mid-century designs have become classics throughout the world. The well-known bowls, pots and kettles with shiny colors and distinctive pattern have a big sentimental value in our minds.

I worked for some years with Premier Services Ltd., the importer to the UK of Catherineholm enamelware. The Lotus range sold wonderfully well during the 60s and we still use a number of pieces here at home nearly 50 years later. Some larger retailers started to import their own ranges of enamel cookware as it became so popular but I don’t see any of those still being extolled as the Lotusware is. It was good to be involved with the product all of those years ago – I just wish I had a shed full to offer to the market at today’s prices !
I have used my Cathrineholm casserole every week and it was bought for me in 1968 as a wedding present. It is wonderful the enamel is perfect still, it is a wonderful product.
