Hackefors Christmas plate de luxe "Christmas" with sheaf and church, 1975

Hackefors Christmas plate de luxe from 1975 is an atmospheric Swedish Christmas plate, where the blue-white winter motif is elevated with gilded details. At the top of the plate stands the Danish text "JULEN", and at the bottom the year 1975 is seen, which clearly places this edition in the series of the classic Hackefors Christmas plates.

The motif brings together several familiar winter and Christmas signs in one calm narrative. In the foreground stands a sheaf tied fast to a post, and the golden ears give the motif warmth and glow against the cool blue landscape. Small birds seek toward the sheaf, while a church and a snow-covered landscape form the background. It is a motif that conveys both winter stillness, consideration for nature, and the Nordic Christmas tradition.

This year is designed by Y. Norberg, Yngve Norberg, who is behind the Hackefors Christmas plates from the period 1969-1976. Like the other plates from this time, the decoration is executed in genuine cobalt, and the year was issued in a limited number. This makes the 1975 plate interesting both for collectors of Hackefors Christmas plates and for you who are fond of Swedish porcelain with history and clear period character.

The gilding gives this de luxe edition a different expression than the purely blue-white Hackefors plates. Here it is especially the sheaf at the center of the motif that is highlighted with gold, so that the Christmas plate's narrative gains extra depth and decoration. This makes it suitable as Christmas decoration on the wall, in a plate rack, or as part of a collection of Nordic Christmas plates.

The plate comes from our acquired surplus stock and is therefore unused, even though it was manufactured many years ago. That is precisely part of the charm of older porcelain like this: you get an original Hackefors Christmas plate with history, preserved in unused condition and ready to create Christmas atmosphere in a modern home.
