Bing & Grøndahl Christmas Plate 2021 Botanical Garden

Bing & Grøndahl Christmas plate 2021 with the title Botanical Garden captures a quiet and atmospheric Christmas Eve in winter-clad Danish garden culture. At the center is the characteristic building from the Botanical Garden, rendered in the classic blue-and-white porcelain expression, where the fine lines and the soft transitions in the color create both depth and calm. Above the motif a single star shines, while the snow settles like a peaceful blanket in front of the building.

Dag Samsund has with Botanical Garden created an edition where architecture, nature and Christmas atmosphere meet in an elegant way. In front of the large glass building, a squirrel is seen in the snow, and it is precisely that small detail that gives the motif life and warmth. The interplay between the monumental building and the small winter animal makes the plate both poetic and present. At the bottom stands the visible text Christmas Eve 2021, which clearly anchors the motif in this special edition.

As a Christmas plate and collector's item, this release continues a long tradition at Bing & Grøndahl. The series began in 1895 and was thus the world's first Christmas plate series. Since 1895, a new plate has been released every year, and each edition constitutes its own completed release. After the year's final firing, the mold for the individual Christmas plate was destroyed, which makes each version a delimited part of the series' history.

The Christmas plate from 2021 is also a fine example of how classic Danish porcelain can still be used in a modern home. From 1905 onwards, Bing & Grøndahl's Christmas plates are suitable for food, so this edition can both be hung up as a Christmas decoration and brought out as a beautiful cake plate in December or the rest of the year. The blue shades moreover fit beautifully into both traditional and Nordic interior design.

For collectors, Botanical Garden is an edition with a motif that unites well-known Danish architecture with winter's quiet story. For others, it is a gift idea with history, design and Christmas atmosphere gathered in one piece of porcelain. On the back there are two holes for hanging, so the plate can easily find its place on the wall when December approaches.
