The composition depicts a historic Norwegian stave church set within a winter landscape, rendered in a restrained blue palette characteristic of Scandinavian decorative arts of the period. The imagery emphasizes architectural heritage and regional identity, themes frequently explored in postwar Nordic porcelain production.

Crafted in hard-paste porcelain and finished with a smooth glaze, the plate was intended for display rather than table use. Pieces such as this were commonly issued as limited or commemorative designs celebrating Norwegian cultural landmarks.
