Vintage Jan Petter Bratsberg Porcelain Art Print 1987 | Framed Roe Deer Buck Plaque | Signed Norwegian Wilderness Wildlife Painting

Step back into the golden age of Scandinavian wildlife design with this exceptional vintage 1987 framed porcelain art plaque by the highly celebrated late Norwegian naturalist painter Jan Petter Bratsberg (1948–2026). This vibrant, finely detailed piece features a majestic young roe deer buck standing alert within a dense, sunlit summer meadow filled with blooming wildflowers and towering wild fireweed. The artwork is printed directly onto a solid porcelain plate, which grants the fine ink strokes and rich organic pigments a unique, luminous depth that standard paper prints simply cannot replicate.

Produced by the historic Håndverkatelier Dub in Skien, Norway, this specific art edition heavily reflects Bratsberg’s lifelong dedication to documenting Nordic wildlife in its purest forms. While the front features his signature and crisp detailing, the reverse side acts as an authentic historical document. It contains an official printed biographical portrait of a young Bratsberg, complete with an extensive summary in both Norwegian and English detailing his prestigious career milestones, his education at the National School of Industrial Arts and Crafts, and his highly sought-after exhibitions across Norway, Sweden, and the USA.

Perfect for introducing a touch of rustic, mid-century Scandinavian character to your home, this piece functions beautifully as a focal wall accent in an office, library, or traditional lodge interior. The plaque remains securely housed within its original, lustrous gold-gilded wooden frame from the late 1980s. Its historical provenance, pristine botanical backdrop, and striking animal imagery make it an elite addition to any collection focused on European studio ceramics or classic wilderness illustration.
