Bing & Grøndahl Christmas Plate 2024 Christmas in the countryside

Bing & Grøndahl Christmas plate 2024 with the title Christmas in the countryside captures the quiet anticipation that belongs to Christmas Eve day. In the classic blue-and-white porcelain, the motif unfolds an atmospheric winter scene in front of a snow-covered country house, where the farmyard lies calm under the cold December sky, while a bright star shines above the roof. It is an edition that speaks directly to those who are fond of Danish Christmas traditions, rural idyll, and the special peace found just before the holiday gathers the family.

The motif in Christmas in the countryside is finely told with small details that bring the scene to life. In front of the house, several geese stand in the snow by a feeding trough, and by the open stable door, a bucket and a ladder can be seen, emphasizing everyday life in the countryside in the midst of the Christmas preparations. The door is decorated with a Christmas wreath, and around the entrance, green Christmas decorations can be seen, creating a warm contrast to the winter cold outside. On each side of the house stand snow-covered fir trees, and the whole composition appears calm, homely, and full of nostalgic Christmas coziness.

This Bing & Grøndahl Christmas plate is designed by Dag Samsund and continues the tradition-rich series that began in 1895 as the world's first Christmas plate series. Since then, a new plate has been released every year, and precisely for that reason each edition has its own story and identity. The 2024 edition joins the line beautifully with a motif that pays tribute to the simple, the close, and the Danish Christmas landscape.

Each edition is produced in a limited number, and after the year's last firing, the mold was destroyed. This makes the completed edition particularly interesting for collectors, but also for those who wish to mark a particular year with a piece of Danish porcelain that can be brought out again year after year.

From 1905 onwards, Bing & Grøndahl's Christmas plates are suitable for food, and this 2024 plate can therefore also be used as a beautiful dessert plate or for the Christmas table's risalamande. The rest of the year, it can be hung up as part of the décor and bring winter atmosphere and classic Danish design into the home. Older and newer Christmas plates side by side also create a personal collection with both history and soul.
