Hackefors Christmas plate / Christmas dinner plate "CHRISTMAS" with girl and candle, 1974

Hackefors Christmas plate from 1974 is an atmospheric blue-white Christmas dinner plate with the original text "CHRISTMAS" on the front. The motif shows a young girl at a set table, where a lit candle stands at the center and spreads its glow out into the room. The scene has a calm and reflective Christmas atmosphere, where the simple candle, the open book and the interior around the table give the plate a special story of presence and quiet December evenings.

It is precisely this intimate indoor scene that makes the 1974 edition remarkable among Hackefors Christmas plates. The curtains, the window, the chair and the small details in the background create depth in the motif, while the strong contrast between white base and cobalt blue decoration gives the classic Swedish porcelain feel. On the plate stands the Danish word "JULEN", and the year 1974 is written at the bottom on the front.

The motif is designed by Y. Norberg, Yngve Norberg, who is behind the Hackefors Christmas plates from the early editions. Like the other Hackefors Christmas plates from the period, this edition is made in genuine cobalt, and it was issued in a limited number. This makes it interesting both for collectors of Swedish porcelain and for you who are fond of Christmas plates with clear history and classic Nordic expression.

As this Hackefors Christmas plate is kept in blue and white without gold decoration, it can also be used as a Christmas dinner plate for food. With a diameter of 20 cm, it is suitable, for example, as a cake plate or for smaller servings in December, and it is dishwasher safe. That makes it ideal if you would like to combine collector's joy with actual use at the Christmas table.

The plate comes from our acquired residual stock and is therefore unused, even though it was produced many years ago. It is a fine way to choose older quality porcelain with history, which can still create joy in a modern home - either on the wall, on the table or as a gift for someone who is fond of Hackefors Christmas plates and Swedish Christmas porcelain.
