Aluminia Christmas plate 1914 Christmas Roses small Ø 16 cm

Aluminia Christmas plate 1914 with the motif Christmas Roses is a fine and atmospheric vintage piece, where winter's simple flowers have been made the main motif in a decorative composition with distinctly Jugend-style ornamentation. This plate is one of the small Aluminia Christmas plates, and precisely that intimate format suits the motif beautifully, where the Christmas roses appear both simple, lively and festive.

In the center, the white flowers are gathered in a small bouquet with green leaves against a dark, deep blue ground, which makes the flowers stand out clearly. Around the motif runs a characteristic border with warm brown-red scrolling forms and green leaves, while the text JUL at the top and the year 1914 at the bottom frame the whole. The color combination is part of what makes Aluminia's Christmas plates so special. While many other Danish Christmas plates are often kept in blue-white tones, this vintage piece has a more colorful and decorative expression, which gives it a very special place in the collection and on the wall.

The motif Christmas Roses suits the Christmas plate's story beautifully. The flower is naturally associated with winter and Christmas and adds a quiet, poetic atmosphere to the motif. At the same time, 1914 is an early vintage piece in the series, which was produced from 1904 to 1938, and that gives the plate extra historical interest. It clearly bears the mark of the period when Aluminia united craftsmanship, delight in decoration and functional applied art in faience.

The plate was designed by Christian Joachim Petersen and produced in faience, which specifically allows for the saturated colors and the lively glaze that characterize the series. On older Aluminia faience, fine crazing may occur in the glaze, which is completely normal for the material and age. As wall decoration, this small Christmas plate works beautifully on its own, but it can also be hung together with other vintage pieces and create a personal collection with history, color and Danish design tradition. At the same time, it is a sustainable way to bring older quality ceramics with soul into a modern home.
