Description:

The Ugly Duckling series of limited edition collectors plates by Karen Jean Bornholt - fine porcelain from Grande Copenhagen, produced over a 50 day period in 1985/86. These is 1st quality - the best - no marks, no chips, no blemishes at all.
The Plates:
1. Not Like the Others
2. He Will Grow Up Strong
3. Come With Us
4. You Don't Understand Me
5. What Beautiful Birds
The text on the plates is in Danish, but there is a full translation in the accompanying booklets (no.1 and 2 are photocopies - 3,4 and 5 original) which contain extracts from Hans Christian Andersen's 'The Ugly Duckling', an explanation of how the plates were conceived and designed, together with details of the manufacturer Grande Copenhagen. The boxes are not original, but will protect the plates well for posting or on collection.
This was the very first series of plates that the factory ever made in full colour, having previously concentrated on the famous and traditional Copenhagen blue - the cobalt under-glaze.
Made in Denmark.
Collection is from Nunton near Salisbury SP5 4JJ or I can possibly post/courier.
