Royal Copenhagen Mother's Day plates from 1971-1977
Royal Copenhagen Mother's Day plates from 1982-1987
The series of Royal Copenhagen Mother's Day plates with animal motifs was made by the artist Sven Vestergaard, who has also designed all the recent Christmas plates. It is a cute series consisting of 6 plates with motifs of animal mothers with their cubs. The motifs are actually copies of old figurines produced by Royal Copenhagen in the past. They thus connect back through the history of Royal Copenhagen.
The plates relate to figurines as follows:
The 1982 plate shows the robin figurines 1020125 and 1020127 respectively.
The 1983 plate shows the cat figurines 1020071 and 1020055.
The 1984 plate shows the mare with foal figurine R4698.
The 1985 plate shows the rabbit figurines R4676 and R4705.
The 1986 plate shows the dog figurines R1453-1635 and 1020058.
The 1987 plate shows the goat with kid figurine R4744.
