1994 Behind the Frozen Pane, Bing & Grondahl Centennial plate
The motif of this 1995 Bing & Grondahl
Christmas Centennial plate is the same as
the motif of the 1895 Bing & Grondahl
Christmas plate. In 1895 Bing & Grondahl
started the first series of Christmas plates
in the world. To celebrate the 100th
anniversary of the Bing & Grondahl Christmas
plate series, which took place in 1995, Bing
& Grondahl issued The Centennial Collection
which comprises five plates. This plate is
the fifth and last plate in the Centennial
Collection. The motif of the plate is Behind
the Frozen Window which was designed by
F. Hallin. The motif is a vue over
Copenhagen's skyline from a window at
Frederiksberg castle, which was built by
King Frederik IV in 1704, and used as his
summer residence.
In the background many of Copenhagen's
famous buildings are seen, for instance
Round Tower, The Marble Church, Trinity
Church, The Stock Exchange and The Church
of Our Lady.
Copenhagen was founded in 1167 By bishop
Absalon who built a Castle with three
towers where Christiansborg is now situated,
and these three tower are now part of
Copenhagen's city arms, and also Bing &
Grondahl used this symbol for their
production.
