Bing & Grøndahl Christmas plate 2000 Christmas in the bell tower

Bing & Grøndahl Christmas plate 2000 with the motif Christmas in the bell tower captures a lively and enchanting Christmas moment high above the winter landscape. In the atmospheric room of the bell tower stands Santa Claus ringing in Christmas, while the children around him hold lit sparklers that cast light over the dark December evening. Through the opening, the snow-covered landscape and a house with lights in the windows can be seen, emphasizing the feeling of homely warmth and anticipation.

Jørgen Nielsen has created a narrative annual plate, where movement, light and presence all interplay beautifully. The large bell above the figures makes the title Christmas in the bell tower completely central to the experience of the motif, and the small details in the woodwork, bricks and Christmas decorations give the scene depth and character. It is a Christmas plate that contains both childlike joy and the special solemn atmosphere associated with ringing in Christmas.

As part of Bing & Grøndahl's famous series, this edition also has its place in an important design history. The series began in 1895 and was thus the world's first Christmas plate series. Since 1895, a new plate has been released every year, making each edition an independent chapter in the long Danish Christmas tradition. The 2000 edition simultaneously marks a special turn of the year, which gives the motif an extra symbolic resonance of transition, anticipation and celebration.

Each Bing & Grøndahl Christmas plate was produced in a limited number, and after the year's final firing the mold was destroyed. Therefore, each edition stands as a completed release, which makes the title, motif and year especially important for both collectors and those who wish to find a specific plate with personal significance.

The Christmas plate can naturally be hung up as part of the December decorations, but it can also be used all year round as a small plate, for example for cake or dessert. At Christmastime, it is especially lovely to bring out for the table, where the classic blue-and-white porcelain adds a traditional and calm Christmas atmosphere. As older quality design, it is also a beautiful choice for you who appreciate sustainability, reuse and the joy of letting fine craftsmanship live on in the home.
