Bing & Grøndahl Christmas anniversary plate 1975 Horses in the Stable

Bing & Grøndahl Christmas anniversary plate 1975 is an atmospheric anniversary edition, created to mark the 80th year of the world's first Christmas plate from 1895. That is precisely why the text 1895 JULE AFTEN 1975 also appears as part of the decoration and beautifully ties this release together with the history of the series. The motif originates from Bing & Grøndahl's Christmas plate from 1941 and continues one of the classic winter motifs in a larger and more usable size.

Horses in the Stable enjoying the Christmas meal conveys a calm and warm Christmas story. On the plate you see two horses standing side by side in the stable with their heads bowed toward the hay. The dark stable frame around them creates a fine contrast to the light straw, and on one side a small star can be glimpsed, which adds a discreet Christmas presence to the motif. At the bottom small birds are seen, which bring life to the scene and emphasize the feeling of a quiet winter day, care and closeness between animals and people.

The motif is designed by Ove Larsen, and it is precisely the combination of the rural stable scene and the classic blue underglaze that makes this anniversary plate particularly charming. The larger diameter of 23 cm distinguishes the anniversary plates from the ordinary Christmas plates and makes them both decorative on the wall and practical on the table. It works well as a lunch plate, for the Christmas lunch or for serving dishes where a slight depth is an advantage.

For collectors, the 1975 edition is interesting because it both marks a round anniversary in the series and reprises the motif from 1941 in a new format. For others, it is a beautiful way to bring older Danish porcelain with history into the home. Vintage porcelain like this adds personality, lasts for generations and is a sustainable choice when good craftsmanship is allowed to live on.

The plate can also be included in an arrangement with other annual plates, if you are looking for a special year with personal significance. Whether it is hung up or used at the table, it brings the classic Bing & Grøndahl Christmas atmosphere into the home.
