The Wonderful World of Bjorn Wiinblad



http://www.dphtrading.com/

Bjorn Wiinblad: The ceramic artist, draughtsman, painter and designer.

The leitmotif of Bjorn Wiinblad has always been "Making people happy". He is also known as "The Happy Son of Nature". His big and deep love of oriental art is probably, what is reflected in the personal style and the spirit of Bjorn Wiinblad. Combining colours beautifully, is another skill given to Bjorn Wiinblad at birth. His whole life had been dominated by his need to stand out, and with the big personality showing in his line and expression, no one has been able to come even close.

He possessed a unique talent, and he was capable of creating his works without spoiling the originality of his splendid expression by the surrounding influences.
From 1957 in cooperation with the German Rosenthal factory, Bjorn Wiinblad created big glass and crystal plates as well as series like "Aladin" and the Christmas and Christmas Carol plate series, all in a colourful and gold-decorated style.

Learn to spot the difference between 1st and 2nd quality

I am often asked about the difference between 1st and 2nd quality of Royal Copenhagen and Bing & Grondahl. This has prompted me to write a bit about it. Basically it is about an evaluation of the porcelain made in the factory after production. The finished porcelain was lookes over to see if they live up to the quality demands of the factory. Those that were deemed 2nd quality, where then sold at a lower price than 1st quality. Today only dinner service is sold as 2nd quality in factory sales, but the improved technique for burning the porcelain means that all the yearly cllector's items are sold as 1st quality now. In the past a large part of the production could be of a quality that did not meet the quality demand, which made it necessary to sell it as 2nd quality. However one must remember that the evaluation was made by people, so the evaluation of the porcelain could vary a lot, meaning that there was great difference in when figurines and plates were ju...

News for the nerds...!

It is no less than fantastic artwork! When you read this newsletter you will certainly have a different view of the  normal  plates. You must admit that it is impressive that the Danish porcelain factory Bing & Grondahl all the way back in 1895 was able to make such works of art..., especially when you know what you know, when you have read this newsletter!   Well, you are curious to know more about how Christmas plates are actually made, so now we will have a brief run through. We have a more detailed description on our homepage about  how you make Christmas plates .  The process to make a Christmas plate is rather long. It all begins with the artist, who draw the motif after the measurements of the Christmas plate. Then the modeller engraves the motif into a plaster form like shown in the picture above. This plaster form is the base form for the production of work forms that are used to imprint the motif into the newly formed Christmas pl...
