History

This decorative plate was produced by Nymølle Ceramics in Denmark during the mid-20th century, likely between the 1950s and 1970s. The distinctive green illustration depicts a busy Copenhagen street scene with bicycles, buses, cars, and pedestrians in a whimsical, detailed style characteristic of Danish modern design. Nymølle decorative plates are highly sought after by collectors of Scandinavian mid-century modern ceramics and Danish art pottery. The 'Copenhagen Rush Hour' design is particularly valued for its charming illustrative quality and its representation of Danish urban life and cycling culture. These plates were often displayed as wall art rather than used for dining, making them popular among collectors of decorative Scandinavian homewares.
