Seltmann Swedish Landscapes plate / dish, Jämtland, 1980

Seltmann Swedish Landscapes Jämtland 1980 is a blue-and-white porcelain plate that captures a calm and open Swedish landscape with great atmosphere. On the front appear the name of the landscape "Jämtland" and the year "1980", and the motif shows a wide view over water, forest and soft mountain or hill ranges on the horizon. In the foreground, a small church setting with buildings, roads and orderly field plots can be seen, giving the scene a fine balance between nature and cultural landscape.

It is precisely this kind of motif that makes Seltmann's Swedish landscape plates so charming. Here you get the feeling of light summer air, open expanses and peaceful rural life, while the various blue shades create depth in both clouds, water and terrain. The detailed view makes the plate interesting to look at again and again, and Jämtland is given an expression here that appears both atmospheric and classic.

Around the landscape motif runs the series' characteristic blue floral and plant border. It ties all the plates in the series together and makes them easy to combine if you collect several Swedish landscapes or want a decorative hanging on the wall. At the same time, the border gives the plate an elegant, cohesive expression, which also works beautifully on the table.

The series was produced by Seltmann Weiden, a traditional German porcelain manufacturer, for the Swedish market with motifs from Sweden's 25 landscapes. That is precisely why this Seltmann plate is not only a collector's plate, but also a piece of utility porcelain with history. It may be used for food and is dishwasher safe, so it can certainly be put to use as, for example, a lunch or cake plate, if you want to make the table setting more personal.

On the back appear "Seltmann Weiden", "Bavaria W. Germany", "Qualitats Porzellan" and "Begrænsad Upplaga". The last text indicates that the plate is issued in a limited edition. On the back there are also two holes for hanging, so it is also ideal as wall decoration in a kitchen, summer house or collection. For many, it is precisely the combination of utility value, Swedish landscape motif and classic porcelain that makes these older Seltmann plates so lovely to preserve and enjoy for many years to come.
