This is the Bilda Blodmå series, produced in the 1940s by Rörstrand, a leading Swedish pottery manufacturer. Bilda Blodmå means "flowers blooming in the field" in Swedish, and this series features a wide variety of flowers blooming in the grasslands, hand-painted. The flowers, painted freely and with free brushstrokes, stand out against the milky white background, evoking the good old days when artisans carefully painted each pattern.
The designer was Lars Toren, who worked at the company from 1935 to 1957. He was a designer who specialized in paint, and was also the artist for works by Rörstrand master Carl-Harry Stalhan.
The initials LTh, which are the initials of Lars Thorén, are engraved on the bottom.
Bilda Brommo is a rare piece made using faience pottery in modern times. Faience pottery is made by drying a vessel made from red clay, then dipping it in a white glaze called tin glaze and firing it. This technique was invented in ancient Egypt and is the oldest method of making pottery using glaze in the world. It is characterized by a milky white base that feels moist to the touch, and because it is not a hard glassy material, it is prone to breakage. It is rare for a vessel from around 80 years ago to remain in such a good condition, so it is in very good condition.
