Seltmann Swedish Landscapes platter / plate, Medelpad, 1994

Seltmann Swedish Landscapes platter / plate with Medelpad from 1994 is an atmospheric blue-and-white porcelain platter that combines Swedish landscape, culture and utility in one motif. On the front stands the name of the landscape "Medelpad" together with the year "1994", and this particular vintage stands out with an exciting scene where nature and building culture meet in the same composition.

The motif shows a wide view over water, forest and gentle hills, while a hare sits in the foreground and gives the scene life and presence. At the top of the picture field several buildings can be seen, including a distinctive facade with the visible text "KULTUR MAGASINET". Together with the other buildings, this creates an interesting contrast between Medelpad's nature and the built environment. The blue decoration is finely nuanced, so that both the depth of the landscape, the density of the trees and the details of the buildings stand out clearly on the light porcelain base.

Around the motif runs the series' characteristic blue flower and plant border. It ties all platters in Seltmann's series with Swedish landscapes together and gives a harmonious, unified expression. This also makes this porcelain platter suitable both on its own and together with other landscapes from the series, whether you want to use them on the wall, in a plate rack or as part of the table setting.

The series was produced by Seltmann Weiden for the Swedish market and contains motifs from Sweden's traditional landscapes. Here one senses the German porcelain tradition in combination with the Swedish world of motifs. It is a platter with collector appeal, but also with a practical side: it may be used for food and is dishwasher safe. Therefore it can easily be used as a cake plate or for a smaller serving, where the blue-and-white landscape motif adds personality to the table.

On the back there are two holes for hanging, so you can also easily use it as wall decoration. According to the existing product information, the back says "Seltmann Weiden", "Bavaria W. Germany", "Qualitats Porzellan" and "Begrænsad Upplaga". For you who appreciate older porcelain with history, it is a fine way to bring both collector's joy, Swedish atmosphere and good craftsmanship into the home.
