Aluminia small Christmas plate 1932 Angel with candle

Aluminia small Christmas plate 1932 with the motif Angel with candle is an atmospheric vintage piece, where the Christmas message is gathered in a simple and powerful motif. The small plate shows a front-facing angel with golden wings, stars and candle in its hands, surrounded by the deep blue background, which makes the figure's light dress and warm golden details stand out clearly. The year 1932 appears as an integrated part of the decoration and emphasizes the plate's character as both Christmas decoration and a historical collector's item.

This vintage belongs to the series of small Aluminia Christmas plates, which were produced from 1904 to 1938. Precisely the small format gives the motif a fine intensity, and Angel with candle appears almost iconic in its composition. The angel holds two burning candles with stars above the flames, while the halo, the golden wings and the star-decorated dress bring to mind the light, peace and hope of Christmas.

The plate is made of faience, which is an essential part of Aluminia's distinctive expression. Here this is seen clearly in the colorful glaze, where blue, white, golden yellow and warm brown shades play beautifully together. This sets Aluminia's Christmas plates apart from many more traditionally blue-and-white Danish Christmas plates and gives them a softer and more narrative character. On this old faience plate, fine crackles in the glaze can also be seen, which is entirely common for older Aluminia and a natural part of the material's age and history.

Designer Hans Henrik Hansen has created a motif that is both simple and decorative. The small plate works beautifully as wall decoration at Christmas, but also as part of a larger collection of Aluminia vintages. At the same time, it is a fine example of how older Danish decorative arts can still bring warmth, personality and history into a modern home. Choosing an original Christmas plate with age and soul is also a way to appreciate good craftsmanship and give classic design new life through generations.
