Gustavsberg not just toilets...

Today I want to present you to a very beautiful series of plates that I have to admit I didn't know existed before unpacking the 140.000 items mentioned earlier.
 
The plates were produced by Gustavsberg in Sweden and yes most people think about toilets, when hearing the name Gustavsberg, but Gustavsberg is much more than just toilets!!!

Gustavsberg plates with endangered species

 
The series of endangered animals started in 1973 and a new plate was issued every year until 1994. That means a total of 22 different plates with a diameter of 24 cm. (Perfect size for a dinner plate or for dekoration). All motif are drawn by the Swedish artist Poul Hoff. See the whole series of endangered animals here

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...

The porcelain factory Désirée , also called Old Copenhagen Blue and Svend Jensen abroad, was once among the best porcelain manufacturers in Denmark.

Ideas for Decorating with Plates

Once it was very common to have plates on the walls in Denmark. There was hardly a home in the country that did not have plates on the walls. It was very prestigious as plates were much more expensive at the time.   Today the plates are not as much a show of wealth as an expression of personal style and ability to decorate your home. After a long period with very minimalistic design people want some life returned to their homes and many have started to use plates due to their versatility and great diversity in motifs. - In my personal opinion plates should first and foremost be used for decoration and joy. - You can use them as wall decoration, for plates on the table, make them into a cake stand or buy a plate rack and set them as decoration.   Plates from producers like Royal Copenhagen, Desiree and Bing & Grondahl are of the highest quality, both technical and artistic! - In fact of just as high quality as blue fluted porcelain. Tips and Ideas -...
