ABOUT PRODUCTID 17166
This decorative plate from Bing & Grondahl, made in Denmark in the 1960s, stands as an exemplary piece of mid-century Scandinavian collectible porcelain. Crafted from fine white porcelain with a mirror-like, smooth glaze, it features a central printed motif depicting the theater in Copenhagen's Tivoli Gardens. The scene, rendered in subtle shades of grey reminiscent of etching, illustrates a crowd gathered before a pagoda-inspired stage, complete with architectural details that echo chinoiserie and 19th-century Danish interpretations of East Asian style. The color field transitions gracefully from the nearly white center to a very pale, cool blue along the rim (diameter: 24 cm). The plate is preserved in pristine, original condition, with the maker's signature present on the back and no visible signs of use. The plate's form and refined print reflect the balanced elegance of 1960s Danish design. Its decoration 'speaks' of a period fascinated with global cultures, when simple, white porcelain became a canvas for meticulous illustrations inspired by travel, fantasy, and distant cities. On the plate, history and everyday ritual converge – the Tivoli scene evokes the lively social fabric of Copenhagen, while the soft blue rim gently frames the story, suggesting a summer moment captured in collectible form. The plate may be displayed alongside other blue-and-white ceramics or presented as a standalone accent on a plate stand, shelf, or wall amongst artworks or photographs referencing Northern Europe. It would pair well with teak Danish furniture, minimalist wooden sideboards, and natural light, but could also serve as a highlight in eclectic, collecting-focused spaces with greenery and lightweight textiles. One could combine it with delicate glassware, ceramic vases, or neutral-toned posters to emphasize its
