Gustavsberg Christmas Plate / Christmas Dinner Plate with horse-drawn sleigh, 1973

Gustavsberg Christmas Plate / Christmas Dinner Plate from 1973 captures the Nordic Christmas atmosphere in a classic blue motif, where a horse-drawn sleigh moves through a winter landscape. In the background, a church can be seen surrounded by bare trees and snow-covered surroundings, while the year 1973 stands out clearly at the bottom of the plate. It is a Christmas plate with both narrative, movement, and the special calm that characterizes traditional Christmas motifs in porcelain.

As a blue Gustavsberg Christmas plate, it is not only decorative, but also a genuine Christmas dinner plate that can be used at the table. It is beautifully suited for Christmas lunch, lunch arrangements, small servings, or as an atmospheric plate for the December table. At the same time, the classic blue-white expression makes it easy to combine with other porcelain in both traditional and more simple Nordic table settings.

This edition is a special edition and is referred to as Christmas dinner plate no. 1. According to the available information, it was produced as a special commissioned work in 5.000 copies, after which the original printing plates were destroyed. This makes it particularly interesting for collectors of Gustavsberg Christmas plates and for those who appreciate porcelain with documented history and limited edition.

The motif is based on a sketch from 1867 by A. Malmstöm and reworked by Sven Jonson. This gives the plate an extra artistic dimension, where historic winter idyll meets Swedish porcelain tradition. It is precisely the combination of motif, year, and limited edition that makes this Gustavsberg Christmas dinner plate a fine choice, both as a gift idea and as part of a personal collection.

Older porcelain like this has a special charm. When you choose a vintage Christmas plate with history, you get not only beautiful design, but also the joy of preserving quality objects created to last. It is a sustainable way to decorate and set the table, while at the same time adding character, tradition, and soul to the home.
