12" Os Rosemaled Plate #2 by Mary Schliep

This beautiful handcrafted Rosemal plate is painted by our instructor Mary Schliep in the Os (pronounced "Oose") style of Rosemaling. This center of the colorful plate is painted brick red which shows off the bright blues, pinks, yellow, orange, and greens of the Os style painting. It sports a string of narrow bands in gold, black and brick red with a broader 1" band of dappled gold.  The plate is 12" round and approximately 1" deep.  It has a hanger on the back to display on your wall if so desired.  Coming from the west cost of Norway the Os style of Rosemaling is distinctively bright and cheerful. Flowers are abstracted and the use of geometric shapes is a hallmark of this style. Leaves have a characteristic use of heavy line-work for veins, and shading is less dimensional. Designs can be symmetrical or asymm
