Aluminia Christmas plate large 1906 Christmas 1906

The Aluminia Christmas plate from 1906 is an early year in the series of the large Aluminia Christmas plates, and that is precisely noticeable in its expression. On the tab at the bottom stands the visible text "JULEN 1906", which anchors the motif precisely in time and makes this plate an atmospheric piece of Danish Christmas history in faience.

The central motif shows a quiet and moving scene with Mary and the child on the donkey, accompanied by a dark-clad figure behind. Above Mary a golden halo is seen, and the little star in the sky brings thoughts to the Christmas gospel and the journey through the night. The motif is simple, but powerfully told, with a calm composition, where the light figures stand out beautifully against the clear ground and the deep blue sections at the bottom.

The colors are an essential part of the plate's special character. The wide border with green fir branches and golden cones provides a warm and decorative frame around the scene, while the blue rim and the small red details add life and contrast. It is precisely this colorful faience that makes the old Aluminia Christmas plates so different from many other Danish Christmas plates from the period. Here, narrative, ornamentation and Christmas atmosphere are all gathered in one motif.

The 1906 year comes from the series' first period, which gives the plate extra historical interest. It clearly bears the mark of the narrative and symbolic world of imagery that made the Aluminia series particularly beloved. As an older faience plate, it also has the charm and soul that come with original things created to last a long time and be appreciated through generations. This makes it ideal both for collectors and for you who want Christmas decorations with history and personality.

The plate can be hung on the wall alone or be included in a collection with other years. It functions beautifully as part of the Christmas decor, where its colors and motif add a classic Nordic Christmas atmosphere to the home.
