Bjørn Wiinblad (Sept. 20, 1918 - 2006) was a famous Danish artist and designer. He loved working in ceramics, but also as a set designer for theater or within hotel and restaurant decor.

“Dessert” de las Glorias de España. Vista Parcial. Una de las piezas más sorprendentes y desconocidas de la Galería de las Colecciones Reales, que merece la pena examinar detenidamente, ya no sólo por su título, sino principalmente por sus características artísticas que son más que sobresalientes, a pesar de que muchas de las figuras que formaban parte de ella, se perdieron para siempre.
