Aluminia small Christmas plate 1926 Christmas rose and crown

Aluminia small Christmas plate from 1926 with the motif Christmas rose and crown gathers the symbolism of Christmas in a simple and striking expression. The white Christmas rose stands centrally as a bright point against the deep blue background, while the crown above the flower adds a solemn and almost heraldic character to the motif. It is a vintage where Christmas storytelling, decoration and design merge beautifully in the distinctive colorful style that characterizes Aluminia's older faience plates.

The plate is one of the small Aluminia Christmas plates that were produced from 1904 to 1938. Precisely for that reason, 1926 belongs to the mature part of the series, where form language and decoration appear confident and well balanced. Christmas rose and crown is a title that fits precisely what one sees: the flower's light, open center surrounded by green and warm brownish leaves, crowned by a dark blue motif at the top. At the bottom, the year 1926 is included as a natural part of the decoration together with small intertwined ornaments.

The colors are an essential part of the plate's appeal. The intense cobalt blue background gives the motif depth and calm, while the white flower and the green shades create contrast and life. It is precisely this colorful decoration that makes many Aluminia Christmas plates different from the more classic blue-and-white Danish Christmas plates. Here you get both Christmas atmosphere and decorative strength in one and the same piece of Danish design history.

The Christmas plate is designed by Niels Thorsson and made in faience, a material that suits Aluminia's characteristic glaze and play of colors beautifully. On older faience, fine crazing in the glaze can occur completely naturally as a result of age and material, and it is part of the authenticity and history that often accompanies these early plates.

As wall decoration, this small vintage works well on its own, but it is also ideal in a collection with other Aluminia Christmas plates, where one can let different motifs and years tell their own story. Older decorative art and collectors' items like this add soul and personality to the home and are at the same time a sustainable choice when beautiful craftsmanship is allowed to live on through generations.
