Bing & Grøndahl Christmas plate 1932 The Lifeboat

Bing & Grøndahl Christmas plate 1932 with the motif The Lifeboat is a dramatic and atmospheric vintage, where the forces of the sea and human courage are entirely central. In the blue-and-white porcelain, the lifeboat is seen in the rough water, surrounded by high waves, sea spray, and a dark night sky. The motif is intense and vivid, and one can almost feel both the wind, the cold, and the determination that the rescue crew must have carried with them.

The lifeboat is naturally connected to the Danish coasts and to the story of the important efforts of the rescue service when the sea shows its harsh side. On the plate, several people are gathered in the boat while the oars work through the breakers, and in the background a vessel in distress can be glimpsed in rough seas. This gives the year's motif both drama and historical weight. H. Flügenring has created a Christmas plate that stands out by uniting the thoughtfulness of the Christmas spirit with a strong depiction of community, courage, and hope.

This vintage is part of Bing & Grøndahl's famous series, which began in 1895 and thereby became the world's first Christmas plate series. Since 1895, a new plate has been issued every year, and the 1932 edition carries on this proud tradition with a motif that is both decorative and narrative. Each vintage was produced in a limited number, and after the year's final firing, the mold was destroyed. Therefore, each plate stands as a completed release with its own place in the history of the series.

As an older Christmas plate, this Bing & Grøndahl vintage also contains the special charm that comes with original quality objects with history. It adds personality, collecting joy, and a touch of Danish cultural heritage to the home, while also being a sustainable choice for you who want beautiful craftsmanship with soul.

As Christmas plates from 1905 onwards measure 18 cm, this vintage can also be used as a smaller plate, for example for cake or dessert, when you want to create a special atmosphere at the table. The rest of the year, it is ideal as wall decoration, and there are two holes on the back for hanging.
