'Madonna and Child' Christmas Plate
Bjorn Wiinblad, 1976
Rosenthal, Germany

Description

A large wall-hanging glass Christmas plate, 'Madonna and Child', designed in 1976 by iconic Danish designer and illustrator, Bjorn Wiinblad for Rosenthal as a part of a series of six annual Christmas plates beginning in 1975

The polychrome screenprint and gilt highlights applied to the glass create abstract figures and rich decoration in Wiinblad's unique and enigmatic style. The rim of the plate is slightly embossed, lending a subtle three-dimensional look.

The plate can be hung with or without the original removable black background frame - choose whichever creates the most impact on your wall.

About Us

Messrs. Nicholas Wilson and Ashley Coleman, the constituent parts of Wilson & Coleman, are dedicated - addicted - to finding wonderful vintage and contemporary interior design objects and works of decorative art from around the world.

We shun the ease of buying from dull and predictable wholesalers and "antiques warehouses", and everything we acquire has been individually sourced, often in very limited runs. This means that although we present mostly 20th and 21st Century European objects of vertu we never know exactly what we'll next discover on our travels.

We do know, however, that it will never be boring.

Selecting items individually also means that there will always be a consistent level of taste, quality and coherence that runs throughout our collections. We would never present anything that we would not absolutely love to own ourselves.
