Christmas Figures with Motifs from Christmas Traditions
Christmas figures are much more than elves, Santa figures, and angels. Christmas is full of stories and traditions that over the years have found their way into porcelain figures. From the small everyday scenes with Clara and Peter to the nativity's well-known story about Christmas in Bethlehem.
Among our other Christmas figures, you will find both familiar series and more unusual motifs. Perhaps there is a figure you have been searching for a long time, or one you didn't even know existed.
Clara and Peter from Royal Copenhagen
Clara and Peter are two children featured in a series of Christmas figures from Royal Copenhagen. In the different motifs, we follow them among other things, decorating the Christmas tree, building a snowman, riding in a sleigh, and enjoying themselves by the fireplace.
The figures tell small stories about Christmas that many can surely recognize from their own childhood. And although each figure can easily stand alone, there is something cozy about gathering several of them and giving Clara and Peter their own little place in the Christmas decorations.
Nativity Scene from Royal Copenhagen
A nativity scene tells the story of Jesus' birth in Bethlehem and is a Christmas tradition that many families hold dear. Royal Copenhagen has created porcelain figures of characters from the Christmas gospel, which can be arranged together to form a nativity scene.
Some keep the entire nativity scene displayed throughout December, while others start with individual figures and expand their collection over time. One of the cozy aspects of a nativity scene is the joy of finding a new figure that fits with those you already have.
The Three Wise Men from Royal Copenhagen
The three wise men, Kaspar, Melchior, and Balthazar, also belong to the old Christmas stories. According to tradition, they followed the star to Bethlehem to visit the baby Jesus and present the gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh.
Royal Copenhagen has made the three wise men as porcelain candlesticks. They are decorative when placed together but can also be used individually, for example on a sideboard or as part of the Christmas table decorations.
