Bjørn Wiinblad (1918-2006) studied painting and illustration at the Royal Academy of Arts in Copenhagen.
He took inspiration from music, theatre and fairy tales. He designed ceramics using a range of techniques. Bjørn Wiinblad’s work is displayed in numerous museums and special exhibitions. 
Wiinblad decided to transfer his favourite opera "Zauberflöte" into the relief of porcelain. All pieces of the "Zauberflöte"-serie have a different scene from the Mozart opera and carry on the underside the text of the opera libretto of the scene depicted, written in Wiinblad's golden, ornamental handwriting.
