Item History & Price
Reference Number: Avaluer:28550066 |
This wonderfully whimsical design depicts a young man riding a horse-drawn sleigh through the snow, surrounded by a flock of exotic looking birds. An array of trees and plantlife perfectly balance the idyllic scene. The whimsical nature of the design adds a fabulous sense of magic to the ancient fairytale.
The design has been rendered in exquisite tones of deep rich cobalt blue, mottled mustard, earthy browns, black and white. The scene is outlined and detailed in black, its childlike unevenness creating the impression it has been hand-drawn which beautifully enhances the playful Scandinavian style.
This stunning plate is presented in excellent vintage condition with no chips, cracks, breaks or repairs. This piece has been very well cared for and presents spectacularly.
This impressive plate measures approx 195mms in diameter.
