Aluminia Christmas plate 1934 small Angel with fir garland

Aluminia Christmas plate 1934 small with the motif Angel with fir garland is a fine and atmospheric vintage piece, where the symbolism of Christmas is gathered in one simple, strong motif. The small Aluminia Christmas plate combines angel, fir and stars in a calm and solemn composition, which fits beautifully with both the Christmas collection and winter wall hanging in the home.

On the plate is a front-facing angel with golden wings, blue background and a fir garland, decorated with stars. The clear colour scheme in blue, yellow, green and white is characteristic of Aluminia and differs markedly from many more traditional blue-white Christmas plates. It is precisely the faience that gives the motif its warm, lively surface and the saturated colours that make this vintage year so decorative on the wall.

The inscription JUL and the year 1934 are an integrated part of the decoration and underline the plate's function as both a Christmas plate and a historical vintage piece. The angel motif conveys peace, light and protection, while the fir garland is connected to classic Nordic Christmas traditions. The composition is simple, but full of character, and the symmetrical structure gives the motif an almost icon-like calm.

This vintage year belongs to the series of the small Aluminia Christmas plates, which were produced from 1904 to 1938. 1934 thus falls late in the series, in the final years before production ended, and this gives the plate extra interest for collectors who wish to follow the development of the series through time. The design was executed by Hans Henrik Hansen.

As older Aluminia faience, the plate also carries the story of Danish applied art, created to last and to be appreciated through generations. This is precisely part of the charm of older Christmas plates: they bring history, personality and a more sustainable form of beauty into the home, because they are allowed to live on in new surroundings.

It is ideal as wall decoration in December, but also works beautifully together with other old Christmas plates, faience objects or as a thoughtful gift for someone who appreciates Danish design, Christmas traditions and collectibles with soul.
