Item History & Price
Reference Number: Avaluer:28550070 |
This wonderfully whimsical design depicts a young man leaving his village in a boat which he sails upon a fish-filled sea. The lad waves goodbye to the fair maidens of the village who rest amongst beautifully stylised trees in which two charming blackbirds sing. 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 impressive plate measures approx 195mms in diameter.
