Aluminia small Christmas plate 1920 Two angels Heiberg

Aluminia small Christmas plate from 1920 with the motif Two angels is an atmospheric vintage piece, where the message of Christmas is told through both colours, form, and symbolism. The two angels stand close together and hold a waving ribbon with the words Merry Christmas 1920, so the motif almost takes on the character of a greeting directly from the time. This gives the plate a particularly immediate and historical charm, which makes it much more than merely a calendar year piece.

This vintage piece belongs to the series of small Aluminia Christmas plates, which were produced from 1904 to 1938. Here, the expression is both simple and decorative: the golden halos shine against the light background, while the angels' garments in deep blue and dark violet shades create a beautiful contrast. The curved ornaments and the warm reddish details in the hair and the border decoration emphasize the characteristic Aluminia expression, which differs from many more classically blue-and-white Christmas plates.

The motif Two angels suits the Christmas plate's function well as both craftsmanship and storytelling. The angels convey peace, hope, and festivity, and the handwritten text across the motif makes the composition lively and personal. It is a plate that works beautifully as wall decoration in December, but it can also hang on display all year round as a piece of Danish design history with a clear identity.

The plate is made in faience, which is an essential part of Aluminia's special expression. The glaze gives the colours depth and lustre, and on older faience, fine crackling in the glaze may occur as a natural part of the material and age. This is precisely part of what gives older Christmas plates soul and character. Choosing an original Aluminia plate with history is at the same time a beautiful way to bring lasting craftsmanship and sustainable quality into the home.

This small Christmas plate is also ideal as a gift for collectors, for the history enthusiast, or for you who want classic Danish Christmas art with colours, storytelling, and authenticity.
