Aluminia Christmas plate large 1909 Jun. 1909

This large Aluminia Christmas plate from 1909 is an early year from the classic series, which was issued from 1904 to 1938. In the center of the plate is an atmospheric scene with an angel and a young female figure in prayer or devotion, flanked by a white lily. Together with the visible inscription Jun. 1909, the motif gives the plate a solemn and almost ecclesiastical expression, which fits beautifully with the story of Christmas and the symbolic world surrounding hope, purity and message.

The motif is modeled in relief, so that the figures stand out clearly against the deep, dark blue background. This gives life and presence to the scene and emphasizes the special character that distinguishes the old Aluminia Christmas plates in faience. The colors are distinctive and warm: the blue background and border, the green and brown leaf details along the rim, the golden tone of the angel's wing and the figures' light garments together create a rich and decorative whole. It is precisely the colorful faience that distinguishes Aluminia's Christmas plates from many other Danish Christmas plates from the period.

The fact that this is a large Aluminia Christmas plate makes this year particularly interesting for collectors and for those who are fond of older Danish ceramic craftsmanship with history. The plate combines the craftsmanship quality of the relief with a motif that still appears lively and relevant today. As older faience, fine crackling may occur in the glaze, which is entirely common for this type of plate and a natural part of its age and charm.

A year like this works beautifully as wall decoration both alone and together with other historical Christmas plates. It adds personality, cultural history and a more sustainable form of interior decoration to the home, where quality and story are allowed to live on. It is also an obvious gift for the collector or for someone who appreciates Danish design and decorative arts with soul.
