This is a very old ceramic plate from Sweden. Marked are the words "Made in Sweden", Rorstrand with three crowns around it and "U.S. Patent Applied for Decoration". The back is stamped SWEDEN IV HU 8 with the HU underlined. It has a basket or pot of fruit and flowers in the center in a 6" circle of lavender. Beyond this is a circle of ridges or fluting, and the very edge is done in a scroll pattern with lavender painted on the outside edge. Being an old piece, the glaze is crazed; but in such a fine pattern you can hardly tell it. There is a hairline crack on the back of the plate. See pictures for condition details. Plate hanger is included free! This item ships separately due to prevent breakage.
