Gustavsberg Christmas Plate / Christmas Dinner Plate with Christmas tree sale in street, 1981

This Gustavsberg Christmas Plate / Christmas Dinner Plate from 1981 captures an atmospheric Christmas scene with city life, winter cold and bustle around Christmas tree sales. In the blue-and-white motif, people are seen on the street, a sleigh with a Christmas tree and horse-drawn carts, which together create a fine story about the preparations for Christmas in a bygone time. The year 1981 appears at the bottom of the plate and emphasizes its character as both an annual plate and a decorative Christmas dinner plate.

What is special about this Gustavsberg Christmas plate is that it is not only created as decoration and a collector's item, but can also be used as a Christmas dinner plate at the table. It is therefore beautifully suited for the Christmas lunch, for a light arrangement, lunch serving or as a decorative plate in December, when the table setting may well have extra personality. The combination of function and collector's value makes it ideal for both the passionate collector and the one who wants to use their porcelain actively.

The motif is based on a drawing executed by Jenny Nyström in 1886 and later reworked by Anita Svedjerot. This gives the plate an extra artistic and historical dimension, where classic Swedish Christmas tradition meets porcelain design with lasting appeal. This special edition was produced by special order in 2.500 copies, after which the original plate was destroyed, and no new production was carried out. This contributes to its interest as a collector's item.

Older porcelain such as this Gustavsberg Christmas dinner plate is made to last and to be used through generations. Precisely for that reason, it is a pleasure to give quality design new life in the home. A vintage Christmas plate with history and soul adds warmth, nostalgia and personality to the décor and is at the same time a beautiful sustainable choice.

The plate can be displayed in December as part of the Christmas decoration or combined with other blue and white Christmas plates for a classic, cohesive expression. It is also an obvious gift idea for collectors of Gustavsberg porcelain, Swedish Christmas plates or nostalgic Christmas art.
