Bradford Collection Plate Museum
The Bradford collector's plate museum in Rödermark near Frankfurt am Main is the only museum in Europe that exhibits porcelain plates from over 110 years of collector's plate history. Among them is the first limited collector's plate Behind the iced window of the Bing & Grøndahl factory from 1895. A total of 155 collections with exhibits from 18 countries are on display in the museum.
The museum was donated by The Bradford Exchange in 1991 and opened to the public. Over 1,500 international exhibits by different artists offer an overview of the history of the art form of the limited collector's plate and its manufacture.
For the 100th anniversary of the collector's plate, The Bradford Exchange donated the Bradford Art Prize , endowed with 25,000 DM, in 1995 , which the artist Nicole Herrnböck received with her design Labyrinth .
