The Seagulls pattern was designed by Fanny Garde in 1892 and became so beloved it was designated the "National Service of Denmark." Over twenty different vase shapes were produced in this pattern, and this gilded version, dated by backstamp to 1952–1957, is among the most elegant. Bing & Grondahl was founded in 1853 in Copenhagen by figurine maker Vilhelm Grondahl and the brothers Meyer and Jacob Herman Bing, and in 1898 adopted the three towers of Copenhagen as its mark. The company is perhaps best known for its annual blue and white Christmas plates, begun in 1895 and still produced today; in 1987, B&G merged with the Royal Copenhagen Porcelain Factory.
