Bing & Grøndahl Christmas Plate 2005 The Christmas Tree Is Brought Home

Bing & Grøndahl Christmas plate 2005 with the title The Christmas Tree Is Brought Home captures one of Christmas' most atmospheric traditions: the moment when the tree has been found and the journey heads home through the winter landscape. The motif shows the family gathered in the sleigh, while two horses pull them along over the snow. In the background, the house lies illuminated and waiting, and the bright star in the sky gives the scene a calm, almost fairy-tale Christmas atmosphere.

Jørgen Nielsen has created a motif that tells more than merely a journey home. The Christmas tree in the sleigh becomes a symbol of anticipation, togetherness and the quiet joy that belongs to December. The bare trees, the open snowy expanse and the farm in the distance emphasize the feeling of a winter evening in the countryside, where the homecoming with the year's Christmas tree is an event in itself. The classic blue Bing & Grøndahl decoration suits the motif beautifully and gives the plate the expression that collectors and Christmas lovers associate with Danish Christmas porcelain.

This year is part of Bing & Grøndahl's famous Christmas plate series, which began in 1895 and thus became the world's first Christmas plate series. Since 1895, a new plate has been released every year, and each year has its own title and story. That is precisely why The Christmas Tree Is Brought Home 2005 is also a fine addition to an existing collection, but it stands just as beautifully on its own as a wintry wall decoration in December.

Each year was produced in a limited number, and after the last firing of the year, the mold was destroyed. This means that the production of the individual Christmas plate was completed forever when the year was over. For many, this is an important part of the charm of the original Bing & Grøndahl Christmas plates.

As this Christmas plate is from 2005, it can also be used actively in the home and not only hung for decoration. It is, for example, well suited as a dessert plate or for risalamande at Christmas time, where the blue motif adds extra atmosphere to the table. At the same time, it is a sustainable choice to let quality porcelain with history bring joy and function for many years to come.
