A pair of porcelain collector plates from the Den Grimme Ælling (The Ugly Duckling) series, featuring original artwork by Karen J. Bornholt for Grande Copenhagen, Denmark. The plates are decorated with full-face, multi-coloured naturalistic scenes of swans and cygnets in wetland reed environments. One plate depicts mature white swans in flight and on water, while the second shows a mature swan with two brownish cygnets. Both plates bear the printed initials ‘K. J. B.’ to the right of the illustration. The lot is accompanied by original descriptive pamphlets in Danish; the blue pamphlet corresponds to the third plate in the series titled ‘Kom med os’, and the red pamphlet corresponds to the fifth plate titled ‘Hvilke kongelige fugle’. Each pamphlet features a circular logo reading ‘GRANDE COPENHAGEN DANMARK’ surrounding the initials ‘GC’. The plates are housed in their original white cardboard presentation boxes.
