Hackefors Christmas Plate / Christmas Plate "Julen" 1983

Hackefors Christmas plate from 1983 is a blue-white Christmas plate in classic Swedish porcelain, where the winter atmosphere stands strong. On the front is the Danish word "Julen", and the motif shows a quiet snowy landscape with snow-covered fir trees, a house in the background and a clear star above the dark winter sky. It is precisely this kind of motif that makes a Hackefors Christmas plate so sought-after year after year: a calm, Nordic Christmas image with both nostalgia and utility value.

This year's motif is designed by Ragnar Carlsson, who is behind the Hackefors Christmas plates from 1977 to 1999. Here he works in the characteristic blue-white expression, where the strong contrasts between the deep cobalt blue colour and the white base make snow, trees and light stand out beautifully. Like the other Hackefors Christmas plates from the period, the decoration is made in genuine cobalt, and the year edition was issued in a limited quantity.

As this Hackefors Christmas plate is purely blue-white without gold decoration, it is not only a collector's plate, but also a usable plate. With a diameter of 20 cm, it works well as a cake plate or for smaller servings in December, and it can help make the Christmas table more personal. Many also choose to combine several year editions, so that each place setting gets its own winter or Christmas motif.

Hackefors is known for Swedish porcelain of good quality, and this Christmas plate shows exactly the strength that makes older porcelain worth continuing to use today. Here you get a piece of unused vintage porcelain from our acquired surplus stock, so even though the plate was manufactured in 1983, it has never been used. This makes it ideal both for the collection, for the table setting and as a gift for someone who loves Swedish Christmas plates, cobalt blue porcelain motifs and Christmas with history.
