Bing & Grøndahl CM3 

Women's Exhibition, Copenhagen 1895

A small plate (5") of large significance.  It is the first true commemorative plate issued by B&G, and was designed by Effie Hegermann-Lindencrone, who went on to become one of B&G's most brilliant artists.  The plate features a portrait of Margrethe I, Queen of Denmark from 1387 to 1412, Denmark's only ruling female monarch until Queen Margrethe II came to the throne in 1972. The border bears the inscription "Kvindernes Udstilling" (Women's Exhibition), the date 1895 in Roman numerals, and the company trademark:  B&G.
