About the product
1897 Bing & Grondahl Christmas plate, designed by F.A.Hallin, bears the title Christmas Meal of the Sparrows. Bing & Grondahl's Christmas plate from 1897 shows yet another typical scenery from Denmark. At wintertime most wild birds and animals have difficulty finding food in the Scandinavian countries, where winter can be very cold. In 1897 Denmark was primarily a farming community, and it was therefore common that farmers set up sheafs of grain for the birds around Christmas time. Today this custom has sur- vived,and people in the country as well as in the cities feed the birds at wintertime, not with sheafs of grain, more often people have a bird table in their gardens, where birds are fed bread and grains.
