Aluminia Christmas plate 1914 large faience JUL 1914

The Aluminia Christmas plate from 1914 is a year with a distinctive and atmospheric expression, where the hand-painted faience truly comes into its own. In the middle of the plate, a white-clad angel figure with a candlestick and three lit candles can be seen, surrounded by a green wreath and the clear inscription JUL at the top as well as 1914 at the bottom. The motif gathers several classic Christmas symbols in one composition and gives the plate a solemn, almost ceremonial calm.

This year belongs to the series of the large Aluminia Christmas plates, and it thus originates from the early part of the classic series, which was produced from 1904 to 1938. The early years in particular have a special historical presence, and the 1914 plate carries both the warmth of Christmas and the decorative design language of the time with great assurance. The central figure stands out clearly against the deep blue background, while the green wreath and the golden details create life and contrast.

The colors are part of what makes Aluminia so characteristic. Where many other Danish Christmas plates are often kept in blue-white tones, this faience plate stands out with its rich palette of dark blue, green, golden yellow, brown and white. The broad fan-shaped border and the ornamental fields around the motif emphasize the decorative whole and give the plate an expression that is at once popular, historical and artistic.

As older decorative art with history and soul, this plate is also a fine example of how classic Danish design can still create atmosphere in a modern home. It can be hung alone as a characterful Christmas decoration or be included together with other years in a personal collection. Choosing an original Aluminia Christmas plate is at the same time a way to preserve beautiful craftsmanship and give a durable quality product new life.
