$3199.20

Authentic early studio pottery plate by renowned Danish artist Bjørn Wiinblad (1918–2006).

A rare, large hand-decorated example from his early period circa 1945, featuring his iconic stylized face motif in deep green/blue on a mustard yellow glaze.

This is NOT a later Rosenthal or mass-produced decorative piece, but an early hand-crafted ceramic work from the beginning of Wiinblad’s career — highly sought after by collectors of Scandinavian modern design.
