B&G Easter Plates (Plaques)

Bing & Grøndahl issued Easter Plates (also called Easter Plaques) from 1910 to 1935, a total of 26 years.  The Easter plates are about the same size as a Christmas plate, but are convex rather than concave.  Each plate has a border consisting of a crown or thorns, the date, and the word "Paasken", Danish for Easter, related to the English word "pascal".  The following plates are mint condition; they were not issued with boxes or cerificates.  You can see a picture by clicking on any titels appearing in Blue.

CHRISTMAS PLATES by Royal Copenhagen and Bing & Grondahl : An excellent new book (September, 2004) which pictures most of the Christmas plates, Mother's Day plates, Children's Day plates, and other commemorative plates by both companies. Also included are Royal Copenhagen annual mugs, the 2010 series Plaquettes, and the rare overglaze Royalty Silhouette Plaques (starting in 1906 with Christian IX). B&G series include Christmas Jubilee plates, Easter Plaques, Christmas in America, Windjammers, and B&G Centennial items. Plus Aluminia plates and Michelsen Christmas spoons.  Fully illustrated, with price guides, 9"x12" hardbound, $49.95 cover price, my price $35. An excellent resource for dealers and collectors alike; you NEED this book!

 B&G Easter Plates

Related Items:  B&G made a few Easter plates from 1915 to 1919 that were concave rather than convex and had no crown of thorns border;  they look almost exactly like Christmas plates except that they have the inscription "Paasken" rather than "Jule Aften".  They have the same scene as the corresponding convex Easter plate, extended out to the rim of the plate.  B&G also made a few Easter vases at about this same time, and Rosenthal issued some Easter plates in the 'teens and 'twenties that look very much like Rosenthal Christmas plates, but with Spring themes rather than Winter themes.  I am interested in buying any of these items that become available, or in any other information about the Rosenthal Easter plates.
