The rectangular plaque is crafted from earthenware and decorated with hand-painted polychrome flowers arranged in a stylized composition characteristic of late 1960s Scandinavian ceramics. The rough, dark brown clay body creates a striking contrast against the vibrant glazed decoration, a combination frequently seen in Simmulson’s work during this period. Both decorative and tactile, the plaque reflects the bold yet organic aesthetic that defined much of the studio-influenced production at Upsala-Ekeby in the 1960s. The piece is hand-signed and stamped with the manufacturer’s hallmark, confirming its authenticity and origin. A charming example of Swedish mid-century ceramic design, well suited for display either individually or as part of a wall composition. This piece has an attribution mark,
