Aluminia large Christmas plate 1910 with angels and bells

Aluminia large Christmas plate 1910 is an early year from the colorful series of Danish Christmas plates in faience, and here the message of Christmas is told with a light and festive imagery. At the top, JUL is clearly written, while the year 1910 is included in the banner at the bottom. This gives the plate a clear identity as both a Christmas plate, an annual plate, and historical decorative art from the beginning of the 1900s.

The motif gathers three child angels around two large bells, which are lifted forward against the deep blue background. The light figures with golden wings and hair stand in beautiful contrast to the darker blue and green shades, and the composition has both movement and solemnity. The bells naturally point to the sound of Christmas and church traditions, while the angels add a warm, almost floating lightness to the motif.

Around the central motif is a decorative border with blue flowers, green leaves, and golden scroll ornaments. It is precisely the play of colors that is some of what makes Aluminia's Christmas plates special. Where many other Danish Christmas plates are often kept in blue-white tones, Aluminia here has a more painterly and lively expression. The faience supports the rich glaze and the characteristic decorative style that makes these early plates so sought-after in interior decor.

This year belongs to the series of the large Aluminia Christmas plates, which were produced from 1904 to 1938. 1910 thus lies early in the history of the series, and this is felt in the classic, symbolic motif, where Christmas angels and bells are allowed to stand completely central. It is a plate with both age, charm, and cultural-historical presence.

Older faience with history adds personality to the home in a way that new production can rarely imitate. The plate can be hung alone as a decorative eye-catcher or be included together with other years in a wall with Danish Christmas plates and collectibles. It is also a nice gift idea for collectors or for the one who is fond of older Danish design with soul.
