The Birgitta Plates
The Birgitta Plates
A matched pair of antique Swedish plates by Rörstrand in the Birgitta pattern. Dense floral transferware — roses and wildflowers in a deep blue-violet — across a creamy ground, with a scalloped, scrolled rim. The darker, aubergine-leaning blue reads beautifully as a pair.
Maker: Rörstrand, Sweden (backstamped). Pattern: Birgitta.
Material: flint earthenware, transfer-printed.
Era: turn of the century, c. 1900–1920.
Condition: very good for its age — a complete pair, no chips or cracks. One plate has mild tea-staining; both carry the fine all-over craquelure of old glaze (age, not damage).
Measurements (each): diameter approx. 23 cm / 9.1 in.
At home as a wall display, as under-plates, or quietly on a gathered table.
All items are antique or vintage and may show small signs of age and use — part of their authenticity and charm. Please review the photos closely, or contact me for more details. Each piece is carefully wrapped and sent with tracked shipping.
