Rörstrand Salad Plate | "Grön Anna" (VDN F555)

- Diameter: 21 cm

- Excellent - This 21 cm salad plate is a genuine vintage item. Given the nature of flintware and its history, we provide the following inspection details:

Glaze & Surface: The glaze remains bright and lustrous, retaining the deep forest green clarity of the original pattern.

Crazing: This piece has been specifically inspected for crazing (fine hairlines in the glaze). Please select your preferred quality grade from the dropdown menu where applicable.

Wear: Very light "fork wear" or surface stacking marks may be visible when held to the light, which is typical for pre-loved dinnerware.

Structural Integrity: No chips, cracks, or professional repairs. The scalloped rim is smooth and the foot ring is stable.

Authenticity: Fully backstamped with the Rörstrand Sweden mark and the VDN F555 quality code.

1. Design & Features
- The Grön Anna (Green Anna) pattern is a cornerstone of Swedish design history, originally dating back to the late 19th century.
- This version features the 1964 modern redesign by the renowned Carl-Harry Stålhane.
- The aesthetic is defined by a deep forest green, Neo-Rococo floral motif that meanders across a crisp white base, finished with a distinctive scalloped rim.
- It perfectly balances traditional Swedish charm with the clean lines required for a modern table setting.

2. Craftsmanship
- Each piece carries the legacy of Rörstrand, Europe's second-oldest porcelain manufacturer, founded in 1726.
- True to the brand's heritage, these items were produced using traditional manual techniques.
- As Rörstrand’s own archive notes, the unpredictable nature of the kiln fire and the hand-finished elements mean that slight variations in colour, thickness, or minor beauty spots are not flaws. Instead, they are authentic hallmarks of a handcrafted ceramic process.

3. Uses & Versatility
- At 21 cm in diameter, these salad plates are an essential addition to any curated service.
- Perfectly sized for starters, side salads, or even a smaller lunch portion, they offer a refined scale for daily use or formal entertaining.
- Because we offer these as individual replacements or sets of six, you can curate exactly what your home requires.
