Bing and Grondahl, B&G, Porcelain Explorer's Mug, First Edition 1978 4.5"

Vintage Bing and Grondahl, B&G, first Edition Explorer Mug, Santa Maria 1492, Denmark. The Explorer series depicted ships of great explorers, 1978 - 1983, when discontinued. This exquisite mug is made of Copenhagen porcelain in blue and gold. The marking indicates that this piece is 8131 of 9222, First Edition, number one of a series. It is in pristine condition. Excellent addition to a collection. Or, perhaps a gift to someone born in 1978. That lucky person might then start a collection of their own.
