Description
Two stoneware plates depicting the Swedish castle Ulriksdal Palace designed by Arthur Percy and produced by Gefle porslinsfabrik, in 1951. The pale yellow and green colors, together with the lovely illustration is really capturing the feel of the early fifties. Looks great both when hanging on the wall (the plates have hangers), as well as on a table or a sideboard. The depicted castle Ulriksdal Palace (Swedish: Ulriksdals slott) is a royal palace situated on the banks of the Edsviken in the Royal National City Park in Solna Municipality, 6 km north of Stockholm. It was originally called Jakobsdal for its owner Jacob De la Gardie, who had it built by architect Hans Jacob Kristler in 16381645 as a country retreat. He later passed on to his son, Magnus Gabriel De la Gardie, from whom it was purchased in 1669 by Queen Hedvig Eleonora of Sweden. The present design is mainly the work of architect Nicodemus Tessin the Elder and dates from the late 17th century.
