Hackefors Christmas plate / Christmas dinner plate "JULEN" with sheaf and church, 1975

Hackefors Christmas plate from 1975 is an atmospheric Swedish Christmas dinner plate, where the classic winter motif and the clear text "JULEN" immediately lead the thoughts to Nordic Christmas, landscape and traditions. The motif gathers several well-known Christmas signs in one calm and narrative scene: a tied Christmas sheaf stands centrally in the foreground, while a snow-covered landscape, water and a church in the background create a peaceful winter atmosphere.

It is precisely this kind of motif that makes older Hackefors Christmas plates so charming. The Christmas sheaf stands as an old symbol of winter and Christmas joy, and together with the small birds and the distant church, the plate gets a special Nordic expression. On the plate stands the Swedish word "JULEN", and the year 1975 is also part of the decoration on the front, which makes this vintage easy to identify for both collectors and those who simply love Swedish porcelain with history.

This vintage is designed by Y. Norberg, Yngve Norberg, who is behind the Hackefors Christmas plates from the early period. The blue decoration is made in genuine cobalt, and like the other Hackefors Christmas plates from 1969-1999 it was issued in a limited number. This emphasizes the plate's place as both a useful item and a collector's plate with roots in Swedish porcelain tradition.

The plate is blue and white without gold decoration, and therefore it is not only decorative, but also practical in use. With a diameter of 20 cm, it works well as, for example, a cake plate or for smaller servings at Christmas time, and it can also be included in the table setting for the rest of the year. As it may be used for food and is dishwasher safe, it is a piece of vintage porcelain that is still easy to use in everyday life.

Our example comes from a purchased remaining stock and is therefore unused, even though it is an older original from 1975. This makes it extra interesting for you who appreciate unused vintage porcelain and the joy of putting good craftsmanship to use many years after it was made. It can be hung on the wall as Christmas decoration or used at the table as a functional Hackefors Christmas dinner plate with soul and history.
