Vintage Bjorn Wiinblad Nymolle Denmark Ceramic Trinket Dish Efteraar Autumn 4.5"
This vintage Danish ceramic trinket dish features a whimsical black and white illustration of a stylized female figure surrounded by birds, flowers, and intricate decorative elements. The expressive linework reflects the distinctive artistic style of Bjørn Wiinblad, with a banner reading “Efteraar” (Autumn) across the figure’s headband. The softly glazed pale grey white interior highlights the detailed illustration, while the exterior is adorned with a repeating geometric and circular motif that wraps around the rim, adding contrast and visual texture.
The underside is marked “Andelsbanken – Bjørn Wiinblad – Nymølle Denmark,” identifying the piece as a design by Danish artist Bjørn Wiinblad and produced by Nymølle. Created during the Mid-Century Modern period, Wiinblad’s work is known for its imaginative storytelling, decorative detail, and strong connection to Scandinavian design traditions. Pieces like this were often produced as commemorative or promotional ceramics and remain highly collectible. Its compact size makes it ideal for holding jewelry, coins, or small keepsakes, while also serving as a decorative accent for shelves, vanities, or desks.
