Arabia Christmas plate 1993 Arrival home for Christmas

Arabia Christmas plate 1993, Arrival home for Christmas, tells a warm Nordic winter story in a calm and atmospheric motif. In front of the snow-covered house, a skier with a backpack and poles is seen making their way toward the farm, while an adult and a child welcome them in the snow. It is a scene that at once contains movement, anticipation, and the special feeling of being on the way home for Christmas.

The motif is finely balanced with the dark winter landscape in the background, the light layers of snow, and the characteristic house, which stands securely in the middle of the picture. The small well in front of the house and the bare trees around the farm give the scene extra life and anchor it in a Nordic winter world. At the bottom, the year 1993 appears in gold color, and the hand-painted gold decoration along the edge creates a beautiful contrast to the plate's cool blue, white, and dark shades.

This Arabia Christmas plate is designed by Tove Slotte, who is behind the series' annual editions from 1990 up to 2002. Arabia is known as Finland's most renowned porcelain factory, and Arabia Christmas plates in particular are loved for their special combination of Finnish design, storytelling winter motifs, and solid quality. Here you get a Finnish Christmas plate where the motif is not only decorative, but also conveys presence, homecoming, and winter tradition.

The plate is made of stoneware, which gives it a strong and robust body. With a diameter of 23 cm, it is suitable not only as wall decoration, but also as a plate for, for example, a Christmas lunch or a wintry serving, where the motif can help create atmosphere around the table. From 1980 onward, Arabia Christmas plates also have holes on the back for hanging, so this edition can be used both on the wall and on the table.

Our example comes from an old remaining stock of older Arabia Christmas plates and is unused. This makes this stoneware plate particularly interesting for those of you who are looking for an Arabia Christmas plate 1993 in fine, unused condition. Many of the plates from this remaining stock are still in their original Arabia boxes.
