A winter flower in porcelain
The Christmas Rose set from Bing & Groendahl is a classic set that many choose for both dinner and coffee – especially in the winter months.
The Christmas Rose set is known for its simple motif with the Christmas rose, which blooms in the middle of winter. This gives the set a natural connection to Christmas and makes it an obvious choice as Christmas tableware.
The set is an underglaze set, where the decoration is fired into the porcelain. This makes it durable and suitable for everyday use – also in the dishwasher. Christmas Rose is made in two versions - one in the classic blue color and one in muted light colors.
History of the Christmas Rose set
The Christmas Rose set from Bing & Groendahl was introduced in 1936. However, the decoration itself is older and was already used around 1924 on, among other things, punch bowls with matching mugs.
In 1936, it was decided by Bing & Groendahl's director, F. A. Hallin, to base a complete porcelain set on the decoration. This way, Christmas Rose went from individual pieces to a complete set for both dining and coffee.
The production is based on the same principle as Bing & Groendahl's Christmas plates, where the decoration is fired into the glaze and becomes part of the porcelain.
Today, the Christmas Rose set is no longer produced and can therefore only be purchased used.

A set for use
The Christmas Rose set is an underglaze set. This means that the decoration is painted on the porcelain before the glaze is applied and fired.
The advantage of this technique is that the decoration becomes part of the porcelain and does not lie on top. This makes the set more resistant to use.
Therefore, Bing & Groendahl Christmas Rose set is both a decorative and practical set that can be used every day.
