Note

The pattern is a Swedish reduction of 1864 of a town monument “The Knife Wrestlers” created in the 1840s by J.-P. Molin (1814-1873) and installed in Gothenburg and Stockholm. The presence of the inscription “СДЕЛАНО В СССР” (MADE IN THE USSR) in the factory brand signature indicates the intentions to export cast iron Kasli items to Western European countries.
