Description: BING & GRONDAHL 1897 Christmas Plate B&G Sparrows and Wheat A CHRISTMAS MEAL for the SPARROWS is the title of the Bing & Grondahl (B&G) 1897 Christmas Plate. It features a large sheaf of wheat (tied in the middle), with three sparrows enjoying the Christmas bounty. The embossed (white on white) inscription along the bottom reads JULEAFTEN 1897 (Christmas 1897). It is a Christmas tradition in Denmark to put food out for wild birds and animals at Christmas time. Design by Frederik August Hallin, who worked for Royal Copenhagen from 1885 to 1895 before moving to Bing & Grondahl, where he designed the first three B&G Christmas plates – 1895, 1896 and this 1897. The scene is embossed on Danish porcelain and handpainted in traditional Copenhagen blue under the glaze. Diameter approximately 7 inches (18 cm). Pierced foot for hanging wire. Marked on the back under the glaze in green: “Danish China Works – B&G – COPENHAGEN”, a mark that was only used by B&G from 1895 to 1898.
