Around the World Collection Plate 2001: Fuji-san
Fifth plate in the Around the World series, depicting "Fuji-san", the holy mountain Fuji-san, also called Mount Fuji, in Japan. Drawing by artist Swen Vestergaard. Bing & Grøndahl introduced the Around the World collectible series in 1997. The series comprises a total of six plates with motifs taken from some of the most beautiful and well-known places in the world. White porcelain plate with decorations in various shades of blue. Each plate was produced in limited quantities only and exclusively in the year shown on the plate itself and production ended at the end of the year with the destruction of the original shape which made it impossible to reproduce. As a guarantee of authenticity, the plate bears the Bing & Grøndahl trademark with the three towers, inspired by the coat of arms of the city of Copenhagen, and the initials of the painter who created the unique illustration of the plate. The plate measures 18 cm in diameter and on the back has the two holes made by Bing & Grøndahl itself during production to allow it to be hung.
