Bing & Grøndahl Mother's Day plate 1974 Polar bear with cubs

Bing & Grøndahl Mother's Day plate 1974 with the motif Polar bear with cubs is a beautiful blue and white porcelain plate that unites tenderness, nature, and classic Danish porcelain in one expression. Henry Thelander has created a fine and atmospheric motif in which the mother animal and the cubs convey the close care that is precisely what makes a B&G Mother's Day plate so beloved year after year. The soft underglaze decoration and the calm blue shades give the plates their special character and make them timeless collector's items with warmth and history.

Bing & Grøndahl Mother's Day plates were introduced in 1969 and are still produced, making the series one of the longest-running and most popular within Mother's Day plates. The series is also considered among the world's first Mother's Day plates and continues to be sought after among both collectors and those who wish to use them in everyday life. The 1974 edition is therefore not merely a collector's plate, but also a small piece of Danish design history with a motif that still speaks to modern homes.

This Bing & Grøndahl Mother's Day plate is made of robust porcelain of high quality and is dishwasher safe thanks to the classic underglaze decoration. With a diameter of 15 cm and a slightly deep shape, it is suitable as a small plate for breakfast, cake, dessert, starters, and other smaller servings. At the same time, it has hanging holes on the back, so it can also be used as wall decoration alone or together with several years as a personal picture wall.

The blue-white decorations make this porcelain plate easy to combine with Bing & Grøndahl's and Royal Copenhagen's classic dinnerware as well as other blue-painted series. It goes particularly beautifully with Musselmalet, Empire, and Blå Blomst. That makes it an obvious choice if you like to mix vintage porcelain, recycled porcelain, and classic table setting with personality.

At DPH - Danish Porcelain House, we have built up an extensive stock of Bing & Grøndahl Mother's Day plates over many years and have most years in stock. Many of them can be purchased at attractive prices, among other things because over the years we have bought up remaining stock. This makes it easier to find exactly the year that has special significance as a gift for Mother's Day, a birthday, or as a personal addition to the collection.
