10" Telemark Plate by Mary Schliep

Skilled handcrafted treasure! This 10" round plate, painted in the Telemark Style of Rosemaling is carefully designed and crafted by our wonderful instructor Mary Schliep. Rosemaling means "rose painting" in Norwegian, and the Telemark region in southeastern Norway is known for the classic look of its painting with asymmetrical scrolls and varied placement of leaves and flowers. The plate is painted in a dark forest green color edged with creamy details around the outer portion of the plate and decorated with detailed brushwork flowers and foliage in blues, tans, greens and white. The outer rim of the plate is edged with dark burgundy paint that sets off the beauty of the entire piece. The plate is ready to hang on your wall to add that something special to your home decor. It is 10" in diameter and a half inch deep.
