Bing & Grøndahl Christmas Plate 2015 Santa's Gifts

Bing & Grøndahl Christmas plate 2015 with the motif Santa's Gifts captures the fairy-tale anticipation that belongs to Christmas. On this annual edition, created by Jørgen Nielsen, we see Santa on his way through the quiet winter landscape with his sleigh, while a reindeer pulls the gifts forward over the snow. The bright star in the sky and the bare trees around the scene give the motif a calm, almost poetic atmosphere, where the darkness and the snow's light surfaces play beautifully together in the classic blue-and-white porcelain.

Santa's Gifts tells not only of packages and Christmas joy, but also of the very moment before the gifts arrive. In the background, a house and small figures can be seen in the landscape, emphasizing the feeling of anticipation and closeness. Santa's raised hand gives the motif life and warmth, as if he is greeting those who are waiting. It is precisely the little story in the picture that makes this Christmas plate particularly charming as both Christmas decoration and collector's item.

Bing & Grøndahl's Christmas plates have a very special place in Danish porcelain 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, and each annual edition has been produced in a limited number. After the year's final firing, the mold was destroyed, so that the individual annual edition could not be put into production again. This makes each plate a completed release with its own history and identity.

As this annual edition is from 2015, it is not only ideal as wall decoration in December. It can also be used all year round as a smaller plate, for example for cake or dessert, and during Christmastime it adds the special atmosphere to the table that only a classic Bing & Grøndahl Christmas plate can create. At the same time, it is a fine gift idea for collectors or for the one who wishes to carry on a Christmas tradition in the home.
