Aluminia Christmas Plate 1918 Large - Faience

Aluminia Christmas plate from 1918 in the large series is an atmospheric vintage piece from the early years of Aluminias classic Christmas plates. The motif brings together both festivity, music and decorative storytelling in one image: an angel-like figure with bells in its hands, surrounded by birds, fruits and a richly decorated border. The year 1918 is clearly included in the decoration and makes the plate easy to identify as precisely this historic release.

The central motif has a calm and almost solemn character. The figure stands out against a deep blue background, while the golden bells and the warm yellowish shades give the image light and movement. Around it are small birds, ornaments and fruit motifs, which emphasize the decorative style and add an almost fairytale-like touch to the plate. The play of colors in blue, cream, yellow, green and brownish-purple shades is characteristic of Aluminia and distinguishes these faience plates from the simpler blue-white Christmas plates from the same period.

This vintage belongs to the series of the large Aluminia Christmas plates, which were produced from 1904 to 1938. 1918 thus lies in the middle of the series' lifespan and represents the period when Aluminia truly mastered the colorful and richly detailed Christmas decoration in faience. The faience itself is an important part of the plate's expression, because the material brings life to the depth of the glaze and the many shades in the motif.

As older decorative art and a collector's item, the plate contains both history and personality. It can be hung alone as wall decoration or included together with other vintages, where its colors and ornamentation create a fine contrast in a collection. An old Aluminia plate like this is also a beautiful example of how classic Danish design and craftsmanship can still find new life in a modern home.

On the back, a hanger can be seen, so it is ready to be used as a decorative wall plate. For collectors of Aluminia, Christmas plates and Danish faience, the 1918 vintage is a piece of cultural history with both Christmas atmosphere and distinct period character.
