Royal Copenhagen Christmas plate 1916 Angel and shepherd Richard Bøcher

Royal Copenhagen Christmas plate 1916 with the motif Angel and shepherd is one of the early and most atmospheric Christmas plates in the classic Danish collector tradition. The decoration tells the biblical Christmas story in a calm and poetic blue-toned expression, where the angel hovers above the shepherd and the sheep in the field. It is a Christmas plate with both history, symbolism and strong visual identity, which makes it particularly attractive to collectors of Royal Copenhagen Christmas plates.

The motif was created by Richard Bøcher, and the simple composition gives the scene an almost timeless calm. The angel appears as a luminous center in the image, while the shepherd and the animals gather below in a narrative that leads the thoughts directly to the message of Christmas. The year 1916 is clearly integrated into the plate and makes it easy to identify for collectors who are looking for this particular edition.

This antique Christmas plate from Royal Copenhagen is not only a collector's item, but also a piece of Danish porcelain history with soul and character. Older porcelain like this deserves to be preserved and used, because it represents a craftsmanship and a quality that is created to last for generations. At the same time, it is a beautiful and sustainable choice to let vintage porcelain be given new life in the home, where it can create personality and Christmas atmosphere year after year.

The Christmas plate is produced so that it may be used for food items and is suitable for eating from, for example as a small lunch plate or cake plate in December. It can also be hung up as classic Christmas decoration, and there are holes on the back for hanging. In that way, it combines decorative collector value with practical use, which makes it extra special.

A Royal Copenhagen Christmas plate from 1916 is also an obvious gift for the passionate collector, for the history enthusiast or for the one who is fond of Danish design and tradition-rich porcelain with a story.
