Aluminia Christmas plate 1909 Three candles and Christmas roses small

Aluminia Christmas plate 1909 with the motif Three candles and Christmas roses is an atmospheric small Christmas plate, where classic Christmas symbols are gathered in a simple and decorative composition. The three lit candles stand centrally on the plate, surrounded by Christmas roses, and the entire motif conveys the quiet anticipation and solemn calm that belong to Christmas.

The plate is one of the small Aluminia Christmas plates, which were produced from 1904 to 1938, and the 1909 edition thus belongs among the series' early releases. The motif Three candles and Christmas roses is easy to read and at the same time rich in symbolism. The burning candles can be seen as an image of Christmas light and warmth in the midst of the winter darkness, while the Christmas roses add a poetic and almost solemn expression to the motif.

The colors are an important part of this edition's special character. The dark blue base gives a beautiful depth and creates a lovely contrast to the white flowers, the green flower centers and leaves as well as the warm yellow flames. The small red areas at the base of the candles add extra life to the decoration. It is precisely the colorful faience that is one of the things that makes Aluminia's Christmas plates so characteristic and distinguishes them from many other Danish Christmas plates from the period.

This Christmas plate is designed by Christian Joachim Petersen and made in faience, a material that suits the painted decoration and the vivid play of colors beautifully. On older Aluminia faience, fine crazing in the glaze can often occur, which is completely normal for the material and age and a natural part of the plate's history.

As wall decoration, the small plate works both on its own and together with other editions from the series. It is also ideal for collectors of Danish Christmas plates, Aluminia faience and early Danish decorative arts. At the same time, it is a lovely way to bring older quality design with history and soul into a modern home, where it can continue to create joy year after year.
