Bing & Grondahl B & G 1951 Christmas Plate Jens Bang

From Bing & Grondahl, this 1951 Christmas plate is in very good condition. The only flaw I see is that there are a few spatters of something on the back, I believe it's paint. The Jens Bang ferry boat, built in 1950, was Denmark's pride, showing the technical capacity of the Danes. It's displayed on this plate as a sign of that pride.

In 1889, Bing and Grondahl showcased its first underglazed porcelain service. Since the companya € ™s birth, all porcelain was decorated in the overglaze style. The company worked to develop a controlled method of firing that would allow for photo quality images to appear on porcelain. Using cobalt blue paint, a design is painted onto the unfired porcelain. The porcelain is fired. After the first firing, the piece is glazed and then fired again. The first of the Bing & Grondhal Christmas plates was issued in 1895 featuring this new undeglaze firing method. The production of the annual Christmas plate has been uninterrupted since their release in 1895.

This highly collectible plate is about 7 1/8 inches in diameter. It has two holes in the back to accommodate hanging. These older B & G plates are becoming harder and harder to find. Don't miss this chance to add it to your collection!
