The men wanted to produce high-quality, unglazed bisque figurines modeled after Thorvaldsen's works and eventually expanded to glazed tableware, noteably, its Seagull pattern (1892) and its legacy of creating the world's first (blue) Christmas Plates (1895). The company is also associated with perfecting the method of underglaze painting, the painting of intricate details onto the raw ceramic before applying a clear glaze and firing the pieces. It created the durable, watercolor-like finish that was the hallmark of Art Nouveau pieces. In the 1980s, the company merged with Royal Copenhagen, under which pieces continue to be issued.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bing \u0026 Grondahl","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67734171156637,"sku":"BOX-00407","price":169.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0533\/2552\/9245\/files\/6adc091c19035743c3901241.png?v=1792805266","url":"https:\/\/quondamredux.com\/products\/vtg-art-nouveau-neoclassic-bisque-relief-plaques-angel-day-night-bing-grondahl","provider":"Quondam Redux","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
