These mixing bowls were designed in 1950 by industrial designer Sigvard Bernadotte, the uncle of the Danish queen Margrethe, and the architect Acton Bjørn. Melamine receptacles from Rosti enjoyed great popularity from the 50s to the 70s and today are considered modern classics. The Museum of Modern Art in New York has examples in its permanent collection. In 1997, the Danish post office brought out a stamp in honour of the Margrethe bowls. Melamine is a plastic made of cellulose and rock flour. With its hard, shiny surface it looks similar to porcelain and is ideal for use with foods. Melamine receptacles are dishwasher safe but not suitable for the microwave. The bowls have a non-slip rubber ring on the underside. - Mixing bowl, 3 litres: height 13 cm, diameter 21.5 cm, weight 540 g. - Mixing bowl, 4 litres: height 13.5 cm, diameter 24 cm, weight 730 g. - Mixing bowl, 5 litres: height 14.2 cm, diameter 14.2 cm, weight 820 g.
