Rorstrand 'Grape' plate

I was very pleased to pick up this example of Rorstrand pottery for my collection on ebay recently. Its not in the best condition as it has a fair bit of crazing and is pretty badly stained in a few patches. But I love the fruity design called 'Grape' which isn't one I have seen before. It reminds me of Marianne Westman's work but none of the websites I have looked at lists it as one of hers.

  1. This plate is actually Westmans design, and actually one of few pieces with this decor. Besides this there are a citruspresser (only available with this decor) and a jar with lid for marmalade (nr 134 in the RH model series, also available with the Picknick and Red Top decors)
