Olympic Games/ Summer, 1928/ Amsterdam - Lot 199

Olympic Games/ Summer, 1928/ Amsterdam Plate. At these Games, the world discovered an Olympic souvenir, linked to the Netherlands, as ashtrays had been to Paris, and to France, which smoked a lot: porcelain plates. Around the Games, production and creativity were considerable, but the model we propose here stands out from the classic blue, with its polychromy and marli embellished with six flagship disciplines. In the center, the classic Olympic standards - Games, rings, city coat of arms (IX Olympiad, Amsterdam, 1928) - in beautiful format, and around the rim, soccer, diving, rowing, tennis, cycling and athletics.
