Seltmann Swedish Landscapes plate / dinner plate, Härjedalen, 1992

Seltmann Swedish Landscapes plate / dinner plate with motif from Härjedalen from 1992 is an atmospheric blue-and-white porcelain plate, where Swedish nature and Nordic storytelling meet in one unified motif. On the front stands the name of the landscape "Härjedalen" and the year "1992", so the plate is easy to place in the series and at the same time a fine annual plate for collectors of Seltmann Swedish landscape plates.

The motif on this plate has a particularly calm and almost high-mountain-like expression. In the foreground a flowering meadow with dense vegetation is seen, while a large musk ox stands prominently in the landscape and gives the scene character and weight. To the left a church can be glimpsed, and further back lies another smaller church building in the open terrain. In the background a prominent mountain rises under a bright sky, and the whole composition gives a fine sense of Härjedalen's vastness, nature and special identity.

The shared decorative border, which characterizes the entire Seltmann Swedish Landscapes series, surrounds the motif with blue floral and plant ornaments. The border beautifully ties the series together and makes it obvious to combine different Swedish landscapes on the wall, in the plate rack or on a set table. The blue decoration on the light porcelain base gives the plate the classic expression that many appreciate in both Swedish porcelain motifs and German porcelain.

The series was produced by Seltmann Weiden, a traditional German porcelain factory, for the Swedish market with motifs from Sweden's 25 landscapes. This makes this Seltmann landscape plate interesting both as a utilitarian item and as a collector's item with history. Older porcelain like this deserves to be used and appreciated further, and that is precisely part of the charm of choosing quality with soul over new production.

The plate does not need only to hang as decoration. It may be used for food and works well as, for example, a cake plate or for a light lunch serving. It is also dishwasher safe, so it is practical in everyday life. On the back there are two holes for hanging, if you wish to use it as wall decoration.

On the back it says "Seltmann Weiden", "Bavaria W. Germany", "Qualitats Porzellan" and "Begrænsad Upplaga". The last text tells that the plate is issued in a limited edition.
