2005 Royal Copenhagen centennial plaquette
Royal Copenhagen Centennial plaquette
Technique: Underglazed
Design: B. Bøcher
This is the second of a series of 5.
Through almost 100 years Royal Copenhagen's
Christmas plates have given people from
all over the world inspiration to either
visit or to refresh memories from Denmark.
To celebrate this 100 year anniversary
in 2008, Royal Copenhagen issues 5 carefully
chosen plates and plaquettes from the
period 1908-2008.
A little angel, reverently bending over a
Christmas rose which has appeared through
the snow. This motif gives a very accurate
picture of life in Denmark in 1945, and the
atmosphere after the German troops had with-
drawn from the country after 5 years of
occupation during World War II. The
Danes were extremely thankful to be a
free nation again, and the Chritmas rose,
appearing contrary to nature through the
snow, is a strong symbol of the strength
of will that had supported the people
through the war years, until they regained
their freedom.
