Rörstrand 1982 Father's Day plate
The motive is chosen from a painting by the famous Swedish artist Carl Larsson (1853-1919).
Rörstrand history started in 1726. By the 1850s faience, flintware, bone china and feldspar porcelain were not only the pride of kings and nobility, but had begun to appear on the tables of ordinary folk, too. Then, in the 1890s, Rörstrand recruited its first artists, among them Alf Wallander, to decorate breathtaking objets d’art for the Stockholm Exhibition in 1897 and the World Fair in Paris in 1900.
The company expanded, moved to Gothenburg in 1926 and to even larger premises in Lidköping in 1936. In 2005 the production of Rörstrand was moved abroad. Two years later Finnish Fiskars Group acquired Rörstrand.
The plate is stamped on the base:
