Souvenir Uppsala

Gamla Uppsala is a mysterious place with no counterpart in Scandinavia, and it has sparked people’s imagination and wonder for over a thousand years. Here we meet the earliest past of Nordic culture, and ancient Norse traditions and myths intertwine with modern Swedish history. Gems & Marvels in Gamla Uppsala is a captivating guide to one of Sweden’s most iconic landmarks, featuring royal mounds, mysterious rituals, and traces of human endeavor through the centuries. With lively language and an eye for both details and major events, authors Lars-Åke Skagegård and John Ringh invite you on a walk through the place’s rich memory as a historical center, accompanied by Gabriel Gumucio’s photographs. This book is in English. The book is printed by Wikströms Tryckeri in Uppsala on FSC- and Nordic Swan-labelled paper.

That’s a normal characteristic of enamel products and not specific to our mug alone.
