The series of plates was designed by famous Danish artist Bjorn Wiinblad.
The Aladin collectors' plates tell the story of one of the best-known figres in "The Thousand and One Nights". Aladin, fortune's favourite, who discovers the world's greatest treasure and emerges unscathed from even the most perilous situations.
Bjorn Wiinblad tells the story in twelve scenes, portraying the twelve most important stages in Aladin's progress. Each plate is decorated in brilliant colours on intense cobalt blue. The gold ornamentation gives heightened effect to the illustrated scenes.

Bjorn Wiinblad &#; Part 2: Rosenthal
Bjorn Wiinblad, Rosenthal.
Number 2 of a 3 part series summarising Wiinblad&#;s career as a ceramic designer.
Wiinblad began work with German Company Rosenthal around after being “discovered” by Philip Rosenthal who was looking for new designs for Rosenthal line. This collaboration with Rosenthal became one of the most important in his life and lasted over 50 years.
The work by Wiinblad at Rosenthal is often characterised by its colour saturated, almost psychedelic use of pattern and colour – often highlighted with the use of gold and silver.
I think some of the most spectacular series Wiinblad produced at Rosenthal were the 3 different series of Christmas plates, and out of these the “Gospel” plates, () are undoubtedly the most spectacular with their jewel like use of colour, highlighted with gold outlining.
The following is a list of series Wiinblad designed for Rosenthal, from the German Wikipedia site for Wiinblad, which has the best entry I have found on Wikipedia for Wiinblad. The list is not complete, but It has some good timelines and milestones of Wiinblad’s career:
