Hackefors Christmas plate / Christmas plate with moose "JULEN", 1979

Hackefors Christmas plate from 1979 is an atmospheric Swedish Christmas plate in blue and white, where the winter landscape is filled with calm and presence. On the plate stands the Swedish text "JULEN", and the motif shows three moose in a snow-covered landscape surrounded by fir trees, bare branches and a fence in the foreground. It is a scene that gathers nature, winter and Nordic Christmas in one single image.

The motif has a special calmness about it. The large bull moose stands upright in the snow, while the two other animals create a fine sense of family and community. The dark cobalt blue shades give depth to both trees, animals and landscape, and the white base lets the snow and winter light stand out clearly. It is precisely the type of classic blue-and-white Hackefors Christmas plate that appeals both to collectors and to those who would like to set a personal Christmas table with porcelain with history.

The 1979 edition was designed by Ragnar Carlsson, who is behind the Hackefors Christmas plates from this period. Like the other Hackefors Christmas plates from 1969-1999, the decoration is executed in genuine cobalt, and the edition was issued in a limited quantity. This gives the plate a natural place among collector's plates, but also value as Swedish porcelain of good quality that can still be used many years after production.

As this Hackefors Christmas plate is purely blue-and-white without gold decoration, it may be used for food and is dishwasher safe. With a diameter of 20 cm, it is suitable as a cake plate or for smaller servings during Christmastime, but it can also be hung up and become part of a collection of Hackefors Christmas plates. Several editions together create a cozy and personal Christmas display or table setting.

Our example comes from an acquired remainder stock and is therefore unused, even though it is an older original from 1979. This makes it an obvious choice for you who appreciate vintage porcelain, Swedish craftsmanship and the joy of finding older quality products that are still ready for use.
