Bing & Grøndahl Christmas Plate 2013 Light in the Snow

Bing & Grøndahl Christmas plate 2013 with the title Light in the Snow captures a quiet and enchanting Christmas Eve, where the winter landscape is illuminated by both the glow of the snow and the small lit candles on the Christmas tree. The motif, created by Jørgen Nielsen, shows a child in the process of lighting the tree's candles, while the forest animals gather around the scene in ????? expectation. It gives this year's plate a story of care, presence, and the special magic that Christmas can create between people and nature.

In the motif, the decorated fir tree stands in the middle of the snow as a glowing gathering point. A hare sits in the foreground, while a roe deer, a fox, and a squirrel stay close to the child, and farther back another animal can be glimpsed by the open gate. The little star above the landscape emphasizes the peaceful atmosphere and beautifully ties Light in the Snow together as both title and story. It is a Christmas plate that appears both warm, poetic, and full of character in its classic blue Bing & Grøndahl tradition.

Bing & Grøndahl's Christmas plates began in 1895 and were thus the world's first Christmas plate series. Since 1895, a new plate has been released every year, and precisely for that reason each year has its own place in the history of the series. The 2013 edition continues the beloved tradition with a motif that speaks directly to both collectors and those who are fond of Danish Christmas decorations with a story.

Each year was produced in a limited number, and after the year's final firing the mold was destroyed. This means that 2013 is a completed release, which has not later been put into production again. For many, this is an important part of the charm of Bing & Grøndahl Christmas plates, because each plate represents precisely its own year and its own motif.

This Christmas plate is also suitable for use year-round as a smaller plate, for example for cake or dessert. In December, at the same time, it is something special to bring out for the Christmas table, where the blue motif adds a classic and atmospheric Christmas mood to the table setting. As a hanging decoration on the wall or in the window, it also brings lovely vintage-inspired Christmas coziness into the home.
