Instead of regular flat painting, the scenes and the characters depicted are sculpted into a three-dimensional porcelain masterpiece, contrasted by the incredible smoothness of other parts of the items. The collection was inspired by Wiinblad's great love for music and theater, in particular for Mozart, the author of the 1791 Opera "The Magic Flute".
To complete this beautiful project, Wiinblad placed relevant passages of the Opera's Libretto in the bottom of the pieces, written in gold using his own handwriting. The result is a true Masterpiece. An exceptional statement object for a variety of interior environments, especially Mid-Century, as well as a great addiction to a fine porcelain collection or a curated art-forward tablescape.

We have just acquired a huge collection from a SoCal collector in unused condition. Some pieces have very, very minimal shelf ware, barely noticeable. We would rather sell the complete set, however, we have listed the pieces separately for an easier listing and shipping process. The set is also available for pickup at our Showroom in DTLA.

This listing offers an impressive set of 12 Dinner Plates. These wonderful Plates are unique with the stunning contrast between the sculptural, intricate rim and the smoothness of the fine Porcelain of the area dedicated to food. Almost impossible to find such a large set, especially in unused condition. In a separate listing we are presenting another Set of 12 Salad/Dessert Plates which would perfectly complement these.

Dimension (Inches): 8.75W, 0.5H
