Rosenthal Germany Limited Edition Bjorn Wiinblad Aladdin Wonderlamp Small Wall Plates - Set of 5 A collection of Bjorn Wiinblad Aladin series plates by Rosenthal. Rich, deep, vibrant colors on cobalt blue accented with gold. Dreamy and psychedelic, by Danish designer Bjørn Wiinblad. Bjørn Wiinblad (20 September 1918 – 8 June 2006), was a Danish painter, designer and artist in ceramics, silver, bronze, textiles, and graphics. His work has been shown widely in Europe, in the United States of America first in 1954 and in Japan, Australia and Canada in 1968. Wiinblad was named Man of the Year in New York in 1985 and was awarded the American-Scandinavian Foundation’s Cultural Prize of 1995. Characteristics of Wiinblad's work include whimsical round-faced people, dressed in vaguely 19th-century costume. They are often surrounded by natural elements: twining vines, floral wreaths, and fantastical trees. His colors are saturated and strong—sometimes almost psychedelic—and are often supplemented with metallic gold or silver. 1979-1980 Handpainted and gilt on white porcelain Rare cobalt blue bass Factory provided hooks on the back No chips or any damage 6.5" inch dia.
