Bing & Grøndahl Mother's Day Anniversary Plate 1989 23 cm Horse with Foal

Bing & Grøndahl Mother's Day Anniversary Plate 1989 is a beautiful blue-white porcelain plate with a classic and touching motif of a mare and her foal. The fine animal motif captures the close maternal care that precisely characterizes the beloved Bing & Grøndahl Mother's Day plates, and makes this B&G Mother's Day plate both a decorative collector's item and a useful plate in everyday life.

The motif was created by Henry Thelander, who is behind the characteristic nature motifs in the series. This anniversary plate from 1989 marks the 20th anniversary of the first Bing & Grøndahl Mother's Day plate, which was introduced in 1969. The anniversary series itself began in 1979, ten years after the first Mother's Day plate, and thereafter a new anniversary plate was released every fifth year until 2009, when the last one was launched. This makes the 1989 edition an important part of the series for both collectors and those who are fond of Danish porcelain with history.

The large size of 23 cm makes this porcelain plate particularly attractive. Whereas the ordinary Mother's Day plates measure 15 cm, the anniversary plate has a size that makes it suitable as a serving plate, dinner plate or as the bottom and largest plate in an arrangement. The slightly deep shape provides many possible uses, and the classic underglaze decoration in blue and white shades makes it easy to combine with Bing & Grøndahl's and Royal Copenhagen's traditional services such as Blue Fluted, Empire and Blue Flower.

As vintage porcelain, this collector's plate also has a special charm. It beautifully combines fine craftsmanship, durable quality and sustainable joy in recycled porcelain that can still be used and enjoyed in a modern home. With hanging holes on the back, it can both be hung up as wall decoration and used at the table, alone or together with several years as a personal wall decoration.

At DPH - Danish Porcelain House, we have over many years built up an extensive stock of Bing & Grøndahl Mother's Day plates, and many years can therefore often be found at attractive prices.
