Walküre Porzellan - Pershing Year Plate 1978

This decorative ceramic plate, titled 'Årets Häst 1978: Pershing', is a limited-edition commemorative item. It was produced for STC (Svenska Travsportens Centralförbund) and features the work of Swedish artist Anders Lundquist. The plate was manufactured by the renowned German porcelain company Walküre Porzellan (Friesland Porzellanfabrik GmbH & Co. KG), based in Bayreuth, Bavaria.

Originally founded by Siegmund Paul Meyer in 1899, Walküre Porzellan established a long-standing reputation for high-quality professional and decorative porcelain. Following financial difficulties in recent years, the brand assets and intellectual property were integrated into Friesland Porzellan, which continues the tradition of German ceramic excellence. This specific item represents a cross-border collaboration between Swedish equestrian sports and German manufacturing craftsmanship.
