Royal Heidelberg Mother's Day plates from 1975 to 1983
Royal Heidelberg Mother's Day plates are a series of blue and white porcelain plates released from 1975 to 1983. The series consists of nine different plates with motifs all revolving around children, motherhood, and animals with their young.
Motifs of children, mothers, and animals with young
The first Royal Heidelberg Mother's Day plates feature motifs of children and mothers with their children, while the series later shifts to animals with their young.
Here you will find swans, fallow deer, birds, cats, and sheep – all with motifs naturally fitting Mother's Day and the series' focus on mother and child.
The different editions make it possible to choose by both motif and year if you are looking for a plate with special meaning.

A personal gift for Mother's Day
A Royal Heidelberg Mother's Day plate can be a unique gift for Mother's Day. Choose a specific edition that has meaning, or find a plate with a motif you think suits the recipient.
The plates with mother and child are perfect for the occasion, but the later motifs with animals and their young also fit well with Mother's Day.
Afterwards, the plate can be used as a small plate, displayed in a cabinet or hung on the wall.
Use the plates as small dishes
Royal Heidelberg Mother's Day plates measure about 20 cm in diameter. They are about the same size as a cake or lunch plate and can be used for breakfast, lunch, cake, and dessert.
The blue and white decoration pairs well with other classic porcelain and can easily be combined with both solid color and patterned sets.
Hang Royal Heidelberg Mother's Day plates on the wall
The plates have hanging holes on the back and can therefore also be used as wall decoration. Hang up a single edition or combine several plates so the different motifs can be seen together.
The uniform blue and white colors create cohesion between the plates, while the motifs vary from year to year.
