Bing & Grøndahl Christmas plate 2014 Sledding in the snow

Bing & Grøndahl Christmas plate 2014 with the motif Sledding in the snow captures a recognizable Danish winter atmosphere, where play, cold and anticipation melt together in the blue-white porcelain. On the plate, three children and a dog are seen in a snow-covered landscape, and above them a bright star shines in the darkening sky. At the bottom stands the visible text JULE-AFTEN 2014, which anchors the motif in precisely this year and gives the plate its special identity as a collector's item and Christmas tradition.

Jørgen Nielsen has created a motif that tells more than just a trip on the sledding hill. Two of the children sit close together on the sled, while the third kneels beside the dog, which eagerly joins in the play. In the background, houses and a winter landscape can be glimpsed, and the whole scene contains the quiet transition between the afternoon's play and the calm of Christmas Eve. The star above the children adds a poetic touch to the motif and can be read as a warm symbol of light, closeness and the way home through the snow.

This year is part of Bing & Grøndahl's famous 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 been produced in a limited number. After the year's last firing, the mold was destroyed, so that the completed year could not later be put into production again. This is an important part of the explanation for why annual plates and Christmas plates from Bing & Grøndahl in particular continue to attract such great interest among collectors.

Sledding in the snow is at the same time a decorative porcelain plate that can easily become part of the modern home. It looks beautiful on the wall in December, but can also remain on display the rest of the year as a piece of Danish design with history and atmosphere. As Bing & Grøndahl's Christmas plates from 1905 onwards can be used for food, this year can also be put to use as a small plate for, for example, cake or dessert, when you want to give the table setting a touch of classic Christmas.

For you, who appreciate Danish porcelain, Christmas plates and design with a story, this Bing & Grøndahl Christmas plate 2014 is a fine choice. It combines tradition, utility value and the special joy of finding beautiful quality objects that can be preserved and used for many years.
