Aluminia Christmas plate 1928 Three bells small Ø 16 cm

Aluminia Christmas plate 1928 with the motif Three bells is a fine and atmospheric vintage piece, where the Christmas message is conveyed simply and clearly. The three blue bells hang centrally in a white opening, surrounded by deep cobalt blue fields, green and brownish foliage as well as flowers in light shades at the bottom. This very colorful decoration is an important part of the charm of the old Aluminia plates and gives the motif a warm and lively expression.

The plate is one of the small Aluminia Christmas plates, which were produced in the period 1904 to 1938. The 1928 edition thus belongs to the later part of the series, where the design language and decoration appear confident and characteristic. Three bells fits beautifully with the Christmas theme, because bells are traditionally associated with festivity, church chimes and the special anticipation that belongs to Christmas.

The motif is elegantly composed with the bells as the calm centerpiece, while the dark blue border with JUL 1928 gives the plate a distinctive graphic expression. The large leaves on each side add fullness and movement, and the light flowers at the bottom create a fine balance in the composition. The interplay between blue, green, golden and white tones makes this edition particularly decorative on the wall, both alone and together with other older Christmas plates.

This Aluminia plate is made of faience, which is precisely what gives the soft glazes and the special depth of color the series is known for. On older faience, fine crazing in the glaze can often occur, and this is a natural part of the character of the material and its age. It is also part of the joy of choosing older decorative art with history: you get a piece of Danish design tradition, which can still create atmosphere in a modern home.

A small Christmas plate like this is ideal as wall decoration in December, but it can also be part of a collection of Danish annual plates or be given as a gift to a collector or someone who is fond of classic Christmas decorations with cultural history and soul.
