Hackefors Christmas Plate / Christmas Plate "Julen" owl motif 1987

Hackefors Christmas plate from 1987 is an atmospheric Swedish Christmas plate in blue and white, where the calm of winter can almost be felt. On the plate appears the Danish text "Julen", and the motif shows a snow-covered landscape with farms in the background, a full moon in the sky and an owl sitting quietly on a branch in the foreground. It is a motif with both silence, cold and Christmas peace - a classic Nordic winter tale told in cobalt blue shades.

Ragnar Carlsson is behind the motif on this Hackefors Christmas plate. Here he manages to gather several fine details into one calm picture: the snow-covered fir trees, the fence through the landscape, the small houses and the owl, which gives the scene character and presence. The blue decoration is executed in genuine cobalt, as is known from Hackefors Christmas plates from the period, and the vintage was issued in a limited number.

As this Hackefors Christmas plate is kept entirely in blue and white without gold decoration, it is not only a collector's plate, but also a usable plate for the table. With a diameter of 20 cm, it has a good size as a lunch or cake plate, and it is dishwasher safe. Therefore, it can easily be used in December, when you want to set a personal Christmas table, but also the rest of the year, if you are fond of Swedish porcelain and classic winter motifs.

Hackefors is known for Swedish porcelain with good utility quality, and precisely the blue-white Christmas plates are a fine example of porcelain that can both be collected and used. Several vintages can be combined on the table, so that each place setting gets its own motif and its own story.

This plate comes from a purchased residual stock and is therefore unused, even though it was produced in 1987. That makes it an obvious choice for you who are looking for unused vintage porcelain with history, soul and practical usability in the modern home.
