Bing & Grøndahl Mother's Day Anniversary Plate 2004 23 cm

Bing & Grøndahl Mother's Day Anniversary Plate 2004 is a beautiful and characterful anniversary plate in the classic blue-and-white porcelain, created with the warm and recognizable focus on maternal care in the world of nature and animals. The motif shows a Saint Bernard dog with its puppies, and it is precisely this motif that gives the plate a calm, loving, and homely expression, which makes it sought after both as a collector's plate and as a decorative porcelain plate in the home.

This B&G Mother's Day Plate is designed by Allan Therkelsen and belongs to the special Mother's Day anniversary plates, which were issued from 1979 and thereafter every 5 years until 2009. The anniversary plates mark milestones in the series, which was originally introduced in 1969 and has since been among the world's first and most well-known series of Mother's Day plates. The 2004 edition marks the 35th anniversary of the first Bing & Grøndahl Mother's Day Plate.

What makes this anniversary plate extra interesting is the larger size of 23 cm. While the regular Mother's Day plates measure 15 cm, here you get a more usable size, which works beautifully as a serving plate, dinner plate, or as the bottom and largest part in a decorative arrangement of plates. The slightly deep shape makes it suitable for everything from cake and dessert to lunch servings and smaller servings.

The plate is made of robust porcelain of high quality with classic underglaze decoration, which is dishwasher safe. The blue-and-white shades make it easy to combine with Bing & Grøndahl's and Royal Copenhagen's classic tableware as well as other blue-painted series such as Musselmalet, Empire, and Blå Blomst. At the same time, it has hanging holes on the back, so it can be used both as wall decoration and as a plate in everyday use.

For many, vintage porcelain and recycled porcelain are more than just applied art. It is a way to preserve beautiful Danish porcelain and give quality products with history new life in a modern home. At DPH - Danish Porcelain House, over many years we have built up an extensive stock of Bing & Grøndahl Mother's Day Plates, and many editions can still be found at attractive prices.
