Bing & Grøndahl Mother's Day plate 1970 Sparrow with chicks

Bing & Grøndahl Mother's Day plate 1970 with the motif Sparrow with chicks is a charming blue-white porcelain plate that captures the close maternal care in nature. Henry Thelander has created a fine and atmospheric motif, where the sparrow and the chicks convey warmth, closeness, and the special story that has precisely made B&G Mother's Day plates so beloved through generations.

This Bing & Grøndahl Mother's Day plate belongs to a classic series, which was introduced in 1969 and is still produced. The series is considered among the world's first Mother's Day plates and is still popular both as a collector's plate and as a functional item. The classic underglaze decoration in blue and white shades gives the plate a timeless expression that fits beautifully into both traditional and modern homes.

What is special about this B&G plate is that it is not only decorative. With a diameter of 15 cm and a slightly deep shape, it is also suitable as a small porcelain plate for breakfast, cake, dessert, starters and other smaller servings. The robust quality makes it usable in everyday life, and the blue-white colours make it easy to combine with Bing & Grøndahl's and Royal Copenhagen's classic tableware as well as other blue-painted porcelain series such as Musselmalet, Empire and Blue Flower.

On the back, the plate has hanging holes, so it can be used both as wall decoration and as a serving plate. Many choose to collect several year editions and create a personal wall decoration with Danish porcelain that tells a story and adds soul to the home.

As vintage porcelain, this Mother's Day plate is also a beautiful choice for you who appreciate recycled porcelain and quality products created to last for many years. Choosing older Bing & Grøndahl plates is a sustainable way to bring classic design forward into a contemporary home. At DPH - Danish Porcelain House we have over many years built up an extensive stock of Bing & Grøndahl Mother's Day plates, and many year editions can be found at attractive prices.
