An Overview of Aimo Nietosvuori’s Province Flower Wall Plaques from 1974
Aimo Nietosvuori designed many classics for the Swedish Jie-keramik company from the 1960s to the 1990s. One of the most well-known series is ”Landskapsblommor” (Province Flowers) from 1974. It consists of wall plaques with the representative flower of each one of Sweden’s 25 regions. They are made of brown clay with a rectangular form and dark green-glazed frame.
