Seltmann Swedish Landscapes platter / plate, Västmanland, 1991

Seltmann Swedish Landscapes platter / plate with Västmanland from 1991 is an atmospheric blue-and-white porcelain platter that brings together several aspects of the Swedish landscape in one motif. On the front appears the name of the landscape "Västmanland" and the year "1991", and this clear indication makes it easy to find for collectors seeking a specific vintage or a specific Swedish landscape.

The motif on this Seltmann landscape platter is lively and detailed. Here you see both water, a bridge, trees, a larger manor-like building by the lakeshore, a wooden house, a church tower and a tall industrial building with a clock. In the foreground stands a figure by the rocks, and the whole scene gives a fine sense of Västmanland as a landscape where nature, settlement and cultural history meet. The blue decoration creates depth in both the water, the buildings and the many trees, giving the motif calm and character.

Around the central motif runs the series' characteristic blue floral and plant border. The stylized leaves, flowers and vines tie Västmanland together with the other platters in the Seltmann Swedish Landscapes series and provide a uniform, decorative expression. This makes it beautiful on its own, but also ideal to combine with other Swedish landscape platters on a plate rack or as a complete wall decoration.

The series was produced by Seltmann Weiden for the Swedish market and consists of motifs from Sweden's 25 traditional landscapes. Here you sense the classic strength of German porcelain: practicality and decoration in the same object. This porcelain platter therefore does not need only to hang as decoration. It may be used for food and works well, for example, as a cake plate or for a light lunch, if you would like to bring a little Swedish landscape atmosphere to the table. It is also dishwasher safe, so it is easy to use in everyday life.

On the back are written "Seltmann Weiden", "Bavaria W. Germany", "Qualitats Porzellan" and "Begrænsad Upplaga". The last text indicates that the platter was issued in a limited edition. There are also two holes for hanging, so it is also ready for the wall. For you who appreciate older porcelain with history, it is a fine way to give good craftsmanship new life in a modern home.
