Description from the seller
Offered is a beautiful set of two original Swedish Christmas wall plates from the beloved annual series by Rörstrand, designed by the renowned artist Gunnar Nylund.
These annual plates from 1980 and 1983 showcase atmospheric, nostalgic winter landscapes in a classic blue-and-white décor, characteristic of Scandinavian design.
The subtly square shape with rounded corners and the refined detailing make these plates true collector's items. The motifs – including an idyllic landscape with deer (1980) and a traditional scene with a windmill (1983) – exude tranquility, nature, and Scandinavian tradition.
Background information: Rörstrand, founded in 1726, is one of the oldest and most prestigious porcelain manufacturers in Europe. The brand is known worldwide for its high-quality ceramics and timeless designs.

His work for Rörstrand is characterized by a perfect balance between functionality and artistic expression. The annual Christmas plates he designed between 1968 and 1999 are highly sought after by collectors today.
