Hackefors Christmas plate "JULEN" with fishing boat and gold decoration, 1978

Hackefors Christmas plate from 1978 bears the original text "JULEN" and has a maritime motif that stands out among many classic Christmas plates. Here a fishing boat glides across the water in a calm wintry landscape, while the sky is kept in blue shades and is broken up by a small round gold detail. This gives the plate a distinctive expression, where Swedish porcelain tradition meets both Christmas atmosphere and coastal life.

The motif is designed by Ragnar Carlsson, who is behind Hackefors' Christmas plates in this period. The blue decoration is executed in genuine cobalt, and like the other Hackefors Christmas plates from 1977-1999, this vintage was issued in a limited number. It is precisely the combination of the maritime motif, the year 1978 and the text "JULEN" that makes this plate easy to recognize and interesting for both collectors of Hackefors Christmas plates and for those of you who are fond of Swedish porcelain with history.

The plate is done in blue and white with gold decoration. The gold is clearly visible as a small round detail in the sky and adds a fine lift to the motif without taking attention away from the boat and the dark sea. The simple color scheme means that the plate fits beautifully into a wall display with other Christmas plates, but it can also stand alone as a decorative feature in December, where it brings a more Nordic and sea-close Christmas atmosphere into the home.

Hackefors is known for Swedish porcelain of good quality, and this original Christmas plate comes from our acquired residual stock. It is therefore unused, even though it was produced many years ago. This makes it a good choice for those of you who would like to find older porcelain with soul and at the same time choose something that has already been created and preserved through time.

On the back, the 1978 vintage has two holes for hanging, so it is easy to hang up as part of the year's Christmas decorations.
