The Margrethe mixing bowl was named after the Swedish Princess who later became Queen Margrethe II of Denmark.

This bowl is still produced by Rosti today and can be found in most Danish kitchens.  It has also been copied by many other manufacturers over the years.  It is a Danish success story and has even had its own stamp in 1997.
