Bing & Grøndahl Christmas Plate 1984 The Christmas mail is sent

The Christmas mail is sent from 1984 is an atmospheric Bing & Grøndahl Christmas plate, where a simple everyday scene is elevated into a little winter fairy tale. The motif shows a child standing on his sled to reach up to the mailbox in the snow-clad landscape. Around it are houses, bare branches, a snow-covered garden and a small fir tree, while a clear star shines over the scene. It is precisely this blend of recognizable Danish winter, the anticipation of Christmas and childlike perseverance that makes this year so charming.

The title The Christmas mail is sent suits the motif beautifully. Here, the story is not the grand solemn moments, but the intimate Christmas tradition with cards, greetings and thoughts sent off to family and friends. The child's outstretched arm toward the mailbox and the sled under his feet give the motif life and movement, and the little scene contains both anticipation, care and the special calm that belongs to Christmas.

This Christmas plate is designed by Edvard Jensen for Bing & Grøndahl, whose famous series began in 1895 as the world's first Christmas plate series. Since 1895, a new plate has been released every year, and that is precisely why each year has its own place in collecting history. The 1984 edition also carries the classic blue color scheme and the fine relief work that have made the series beloved through generations.

Each year was produced in a limited number, and after the last firing of the year, the mold was destroyed. This means that The Christmas mail is sent is a completed release, which could not later be put into production again. For collectors, this is an important part of the charm, but also in a modern home an older Christmas plate has great value. It brings history, nostalgia and sustainable joy into the interior, because good craftsmanship is allowed to live on.

As Bing & Grøndahl Christmas plates from 1905 onward can be used for food, this year can also be brought out as a small cake plate in December or hung up as a permanent part of the Christmas decoration. The blue Christmas story looks beautiful both alone and together with other years from the series.
