1986 Royal Copenhagen Mother and Child plate Dog with puppies

This Royal Copenhagen Mother and Child plate from 1986 with the motif Dog with puppies combines tenderness, calm, and classic Danish porcelain art in one expression. The fine blue-and-white motif celebrates the close bond between mother and young and makes the plate an atmospheric collector's plate that both speaks to the heart and fits beautifully into a classic home interior. The decorative floral border around the motif emphasizes the series' distinctive character and gives the plate an elegant, timeless expression.

The plate is designed by Sven Vestergaard and belongs to Royal Copenhagen's Mother and Child series, which was introduced in 1982 and produced up to and including 1987. The series replaced the classic Royal Copenhagen Mother's Day plates, which were first launched in 1971 and were produced until 1982. The Mother and Child plates in particular are characterized by their animal motifs with young, surrounded by a decorative floral border, and the 1986 edition with Dog with puppies is the fifth in the series of six plates.

As vintage porcelain, this Royal Copenhagen plate has both history and usability. It is made in Denmark in high-quality porcelain with the classic underglaze decoration, which is dishwasher safe and created to last for many years. This makes it not only ideal as wall decoration, but also as a small porcelain plate for everyday use. With a diameter of 15 cm, it corresponds to a classic cake plate and is suitable for breakfast, cake, dessert, small servings, or starters.

The blue-and-white tones make it easy to combine with Royal Copenhagen's and Bing & Grøndahl's classic dinnerware as well as other blue-painted porcelain series such as Blue Fluted, Blue Flower, and Empire. The hanging holes on the back make it easy to use it as part of a personal wall decoration, preferably together with several years from the series.

At DPH - Danish Porcelain House, Royal Copenhagen Mother's Day plates and Mother and Child plates are popular collector's items, and many also choose them as a fine gift idea with history, soul, and sustainable value. Choosing reused porcelain such as this plate is a beautiful way to give quality design new life in a modern home.
