1972 Bjorn Wiinblad Christmas wall plate with built in wall hanger. Weihnachtsteller, Rosenthal porcelain Studio-Linie, made in Germany. This is Caspar, hand-decorated and one of a series of Christmas plates by Rosenthal. Features Caspar (one of the wise men) traditionally presenting gold to baby Jesus. Lots of gold trim on this series which doesn’t always show well in the photos, it depends on how the light hits it. This plate is decorated with brilliant colors & gold on deep cobalt blue/navy background, it is signed and dated on the front. This plate. It is fine porcelain and incredibly light. Designer: Designed by the Danish designer Bjorn Wiinblad (1918 – 2006) for Rosenthal. Bjorn Wiinblad was an internationally known artist and designer who established his own studio in the 1950s. He started in print and moved into ceramics. He collaborated extensively with Rosenthal, a quality German porcelain manufacturer. His style has been described as everything from whimsical to mid century modern. I think it is a combination of both. Size: approximately 11 3/8” in diameter. Condition: Excellent condition. There are some light scratches in the center area of the plate from stack wear which are barely noticeable, see photos. Have you found your thing of beauty?
