Bing & Grøndahl Christmas Plate 1920 Hares in the Snow

Hares in the Snow from 1920 is an atmospheric Bing & Grøndahl Christmas plate, where the calm of winter and the quiet life of nature are captured in the classic blue-and-white porcelain. The motif shows two hares in the snow under heavy branches, while small tracks in the white surface tell that the moment has only just paused. One hare sits alert upright, the other lies low and calmly, and together they create a motif with both presence, silence and movement.

Precisely Hares in the Snow makes this year particularly fine for collectors and for everyone who is fond of Danish Christmas plates with nature motifs. Achton Friis has given the scene a simple, almost poetic character, where the contrast between the dark animals and the light snow emphasizes the depth of the winter landscape. The floating, cloud-like shapes above the hares add a dreamy atmosphere to the motif, which suits the more contemplative side of Christmas beautifully.

Bing & Grøndahl's Christmas plates began as early as 1895 and were thus the world's first Christmas plate series. Since 1895, a new plate has been issued every year, and the 1920 edition is therefore part of a long and significant Danish design tradition. Each edition was produced in a limited number, and after the year's final firing, the mold was destroyed. That makes each individual release a completed edition with its own place in the series.

This older Christmas plate bears the special charm that only porcelain with history can have. It is a fine choice for you who collect Bing & Grøndahl, but also for you who wish to decorate with original Danish collector's items and give classic craftsmanship new life. From 1905 onwards, the Christmas plates are also suitable for use at the table, so this edition can both be hung up as wintry decoration and brought out as a beautiful small plate for Christmas treats or cake in December.

The blue Bing & Grøndahl Christmas plate 1920 is also an obvious gift idea for collectors, nature lovers or as a personal December gift with history, soul and Danish cultural heritage.
