Aladdin plate no. 8, Rosentahl Bjorn Wiinblad

Aladin's Mother brings the Sultan fruit from the enchanted garden is number 8 in a series of 12 Aladin plates produced by Rosenthal, designed by Bjorn Wiinblad. In his 12 Aladin plates, Bjorn Wiinblad virtuously depicts the tale of Aladin from the well known fairy tale The Thousand and One Nights. In this fairy tale Aladin achieves the greatest treasures and overcomes the gravest dangers, and Bjorn Wiinblad has, in his usual optimistic style, chosen the most important scenes from Aladin's life. The brilliant and intense colours with gold ornamentations stresses the splendor of this oriental fairy tale. This is the eight of the twelve Aladin plates, titled Aladin's Mother brings the Sultan fruits from the Enchanted Garden. The technique used for the plates is overglazed. Aladin from "The Thousand and One Nights" Aladin asks his mother to plead for him with the Sultan, for the princess' hand in marriage. His mother presents the Sultan with fruits from the enchanted garden, and he, overwhelmed with the costliness of the jewels, gives his consent.
