This is a ceramic plate made by Nuvstrup, a Danish company founded in the early 20th century. Two girls wearing ethnic costumes are drawn with bright light blue and yellow glaze on rough brown unglazed pottery clay that reveals the base. It is a thick and heavy ceramic plate that looks great as a one-point decoration.
The designer is a German woman named Dietlinde Hein. He was recruited while studying at an art university and had a promising future at the Nubstrap kiln, but died young in his late 30s. Her nav strap was registered from 1960 to 1965, but she designed this ceramic plate in 1960 when she was just 20 years old, and she was truly an up-and-coming designer.
The two girls are shaped with a hand spatula and thickly glaze is poured into the recesses. The color has depth and it is a model that gives you a sense of three-dimensionality. The light blue glaze is particularly brilliant, and it reflects the light beautifully when placed on a window sill. Her signature, D. Hein, is engraved small on the bottom right of the ceramic plate.

It is a very beautiful product with no damage to mention. There is a dent in one corner of the back, but it is due to the manufacturing process because it has a burnt color. There are no cracks or chips, and it has been preserved as it was when it was first manufactured.
