Bing & Grøndahl Mother's Day Anniversary Plate 1994 23 cm

Bing & Grøndahl Mother's Day Anniversary Plate 1994 is a large and atmospheric porcelain plate in classic blue-and-white style, created with the nature motif that has made the series beloved among both collectors and users. The motif shows a woodpecker with its young by the nest in the tree trunk - a fine and touching depiction of maternal care in nature, which suits the Mother's Day tradition beautifully. The artist behind the motif is Henry Thelander, who with a sure hand has captured both calm, closeness and life in the decorative composition.

This B&G Mother's Day Plate is the anniversary edition from 1994 and marks the 25th year of the first Bing & Grøndahl Mother's Day Plate, which was introduced in 1969. Bing & Grøndahl Mother's Day Plates were among the world's first series of Mother's Day plates, and the regular series is still produced. The anniversary plates are something special in the series: the first came in 1979, and after that a new anniversary plate was released every 5 years until 2009. Precisely for that reason, a Bing & Grøndahl Mother's Day Anniversary Plate is an interesting choice for both collectors and those who want Danish porcelain with history and soul.

In contrast to the ordinary Mother's Day plates of 15 cm, this anniversary plate is larger with its 23 cm. This makes it extra useful as a serving plate, dinner plate or as the bottom and largest plate in a decorative arrangement. The slightly deep shape also makes it suitable for serving, and the blue-and-white decoration makes it easy to combine with classic services from both Bing & Grøndahl and Royal Copenhagen, including Blue Fluted, Empire and Blue Flower.

The plate is made of robust porcelain of high quality with classic underglaze decoration, which is dishwasher safe. At the same time, it has hanging holes on the back, so it can be used both as wall decoration and as a plate. Many choose to collect several years and create a personal wall decoration, while others enjoy the pleasure of using vintage porcelain in everyday life. It is a beautiful way to preserve quality design and let recycled porcelain gain new life in a modern 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 years can often be found at attractive prices.
