Seltmann Swedish Landscapes plaque / plate, Småland, 1973

Seltmann Swedish Landscapes plaque / plate from 1973 with the motif Småland captures a calm and nostalgic scene from Swedish rural life. On the front appears the Swedish text "Röd lyser stugan bak hängbjörkars slöja", and the motif shows precisely a small cottage lying peacefully behind hanging birch branches. In front of the house are a fence, gate and stone wall, while a well and trees in the background complete the rural story. It is a Swedish landscape motif with lots of atmosphere, where you can almost sense the silence, the summer light and the simple idyll that many associate with Småland.

The blue-white decoration suits the motif beautifully. The darker blue details draw the eye to the house, the gate and the foreground, while the lighter shades give depth to trees, sky and the open landscape. At the bottom appear "Småland" and the year 1973, so the plaque clearly marks both landscape and vintage. Around the motif can be seen the series' characteristic blue flower and plant ornamentation, which ties Seltmann's Swedish landscape plaques together and makes them beautiful to combine on the wall or in a collection.

The series was produced by Seltmann Weiden for the Swedish market and comprises motifs from Sweden's 25 traditional landscapes. Here you get a Swedish landscape plaque with both decorative value and practical use. It may be used for food and can therefore easily be put to use as, for example, a cake plate or for a smaller serving, when you want to make the table setting a little more personal. That it is also dishwasher safe makes it easy to use in everyday life.

As older porcelain with history, this Seltmann plate is also a fine choice for you who like to use things with soul. It can be hung up as wall decoration, but it works just as well on the table, where the Swedish motif and the shared blue border give character to the table setting. On the back appear "Seltmann Weiden", "Bavaria W. Germany", "Qualitats Porzellan" and "Begrænsad Upplaga", which emphasizes the plaque's origin and that it is issued in a limited edition.
