Seltmann Swedish Landscapes plate / dish, Västerbotten, 1993

Seltmann Swedish Landscapes plate / dish with Västerbotten from 1993 is a blue-and-white porcelain plate that brings together several aspects of the Swedish landscape in one atmospheric motif. On the front, "Västerbotten" and "1993" are clearly shown, and this precise indication makes this landscape plate easy to recognize for both collectors and those looking for a special dish with a Swedish motif.

The motif is structured like a small pictorial narrative about Västerbotten. Here, light birch trees and nature with stones and water are seen, an urban section with buildings and a prominent horse figure, as well as a lower field with buildings and a characteristic tower-like building motif. This gives the plate a lively expression, where Swedish nature, buildings, and culture meet in the same composition. The blue shades create depth in both trees, landscape, and architecture, while the light porcelain base keeps the expression clean and classic.

Around the central motif runs the series' well-known decorative border with blue floral and plant ornamentation. It ties Seltmann Swedish landscape plates together across vintages and landscapes and makes them beautiful both individually and in combination with other plates from the series. It is precisely such a border that gives a unified and harmonious expression, whether you use the plate on the table or hang it up.

The series was produced by Seltmann Weiden for the Swedish market and contains motifs from Sweden's 25 traditional landscapes. Here one senses the German porcelain tradition for useful and decorative porcelain at the same time. This Seltmann dish therefore does not only need to be a collector's plate. It may be used for food and is well suited as a cake plate or for a small serving, and since it is dishwasher safe, it is also easy to include in everyday table setting.

On the back are the texts "Seltmann Weiden", "Bavaria W. Germany", "Qualitats Porzellan" and "Begrænsad Upplaga". The last text states that the release was made as a limited edition. In addition, the plate has two holes for hanging, so it is also ideal as wall decoration in a kitchen, summer house, or together with other blue-and-white porcelain plates.
