Vintage Sven Törngren Pottery Plate: Mid-Century Scandinavian Folk Art

This rare and beautifully crafted pottery plate is signed by noted Swedish ceramicist Sven Törngren, a master of Scandinavian studio pottery. With its stylized floral motifs and soft, earthy blue and tan tones, this piece reflects both folk art heritage and modernist mid-century design. Whether displayed as wall art or styled in a curated shelfie, it brings warmth and artistic legacy to any space.

Each brushstroke and glaze variation tells the story of its handmade origins in Sweden’s Törngrens Krukmakeri, one of the country’s oldest working potteries. Törngren’s work is cherished for its quality, craftsmanship, and connection to Swedish folk traditions.
