Bing & Grøndahl Christmas plate 2018 Winter Landscape Dag Samsund

Bing & Grøndahl Christmas plate 2018 with the motif Winter Landscape conveys a quiet and reflective Christmas Eve in nature. Dag Samsund has created a calm winter motif, where the open snow-covered landscape, the dark fir trees on the horizon and the clear light of the sky come together in an atmosphere of cold, calm and Nordic poetry. On the plate also appears the text "CHRISTMAS EVE 2018", which is beautifully incorporated into the decoration and emphasizes the year's connection to the special evening, when the silence of nature almost feels solemn.

The motif is characterized by fine contrasts between the bright snowy field and the deeper blue shadows. A fox stands in the foreground and looks out over the landscape, as if for a moment it pauses in the clear winter night. The branches of the trees frame the scene, while the moon or the clear light of the sky gives the motif an almost fairy-tale character. Winter Landscape is therefore not just a Christmas plate, but also a little story about nature's own Christmas atmosphere.

As the 2018 edition, this plate continues the famous Bing & Grøndahl tradition, which began in 1895 as the world's first Christmas plate series. Since 1895, a new plate has been released every year, and each edition has been produced in a limited number. After the year's final firing, the mold was destroyed, which means that the completed edition could not later be put into production again. It is precisely this that helps make the individual editions interesting for both collectors and those who wish to carry on a beautiful Christmas tradition.

The Christmas plate from 2018 can also be used all year round as a smaller plate, for example for cake or dessert, and in December it naturally gets a special place at the Christmas table or on the wall. The classic blue color makes it easy to combine with other porcelain and at the same time gives the home a touch of Danish design history. For many, it is also an obvious gift idea for a special Christmas, a memorable edition or a beginning collection.
