Arabia Christmas plate 1994 Play in the Christmas snow

Arabia Christmas plate 1994 with the motif Play in the Christmas snow depicts a winter day where everyday joy and Christmas atmosphere meet in a quiet Nordic landscape. In front of a snow-covered house, children and adults are gathered around play in the snow, while small piles of snowballs lie ready in the foreground. The dark night sky, the light layers of snow and the tall tree trunks give the motif a fine contrast, which makes this edition both atmospheric and easy to recognize.

In Play in the Christmas snow, it is not the solemn Christmas Eve, but the lively December atmosphere around the home that is at the center. The blue house with snow on the roof, the illuminated windows and the small figures in motion create a story of community, winter and play. In the background, several small houses and people making their way through the snow can also be seen, which gives the motif depth and emphasizes the safe village atmosphere. The hand-painted gold decoration can be seen along the edge and by the year 1994, where it adds a warm counterpoint to the cool blue and black tones.

This Arabia Christmas plate is designed by Tove Slotte, who is behind the editions from 1990 onwards in the series. Arabia is known as Finland's most renowned porcelain factory, and their Christmas plates have over the years gained a special place among both collectors and those who appreciate Finnish design and Nordic winter motifs. The plate is made of stoneware, which gives a robust and pleasantly heavy body that is suitable both for display and for use at the table.

With a diameter of 23 cm, this Finnish Christmas plate can be used as a lunch plate or as a decorative part of the Christmas table, where the motif adds narrative and personality to the table setting. As the edition is from 1994, it also has holes on the back for hanging, so it can easily be hung up as wall decoration in December or the rest of the winter.

Our specimen comes from an old residual stock of Arabia Christmas plates and is therefore unused. This makes this stoneware plate particularly interesting for you who would like to find older quality design with history, but in condition without ordinary signs of use. Many of the plates from this residual stock are still in their original Arabia boxes.
