Gustavsberg

Gustavsberg is a locality situated in Värmdö Municipality, Stockholm County, Sweden. It is located on the island of Värmdö, approximately 25 kilometers east of central Stockholm. Historically, Gustavsberg is renowned for its porcelain factory, Gustavsberg Porcelain, which was established in 1725 and became one of Sweden's most prominent producers of ceramics and household items. The factory played a significant role in the industrial development of the area and contributed to Swedish design history with its functional and aesthetically pleasing products.
