Aluminia small Christmas plate 1933 Angel with hearts

Aluminia small Christmas plate from 1933 with the motif Angel with hearts is an atmospheric and characterful vintage piece from the classic Danish Christmas plate series. Here the motif is built around an angel, standing calmly and frontally with a braided heart in each hand - a motif that speaks directly into the Danish Christmas tradition and its warm story of light, care and generosity.

The plate is one of the small Aluminia Christmas plates, which were produced from 1904 to 1938, and this very late vintage from 1933 bears the series' distinctive blend of folk art, Christmas coziness and decorative strength. Angel with hearts is a fine example of how Aluminia in faience created a more colorful and vivid expression than many of the period's blue-white Christmas plates. The deep blue background makes the angel stand out clearly, while golden wings, a yellow halo and warm brown shades in the braided hearts give the motif glow and warmth.

The angel's white robe is decorated with green fir branches and small stars, which underline the connection to the nature, light and festivity of Christmas. The composition is simple, but very effective, and the black date numerals 1933 and the letters at the bottom frame the motif in a way that gives the plate both graphic strength and historical presence. Hans Henrik Hansen is behind the design, and his visual language unites the decorative with the narrative in a way that makes this vintage easy to recognize.

As an older faience plate, it also contains the special charm that comes with original quality objects with history. Aluminia Christmas plates are created to last, and today they offer the opportunity to bring both Danish design history and sustainable reuse into the home. The small size makes it ideal as wall decoration on its own, in a combined hanging with other vintages or as a personal Christmas gift for collectors and those interested in design.
