Colorful and playful Swedish retro
VAT included. Sold under the margin scheme for second-hand goods — no VAT is shown separately.
A charming and period-typical serving platter from Jie Gantofta, made of glazed earthenware. The platter features naive, hand-painted decorations depicting fish, fried eggs, and shrimp against a white background, beautifully framed by a bright yellow border. The humorous and colorful style is very characteristic of the factory's production during the mid-20th century, reminiscent of designer Anita Nylund's well-known kitchen motifs. A perfect and atmospheric serving dish for herring or as a pop of color on the set table.
