Arabia Porcelain mini Christmas plates
Arabia Christmas card plaquettes are a series of decorative plaques released by the Finnish porcelain company Arabia. These plaquettes are designed as Christmas cards and each have a unique Christmas motif. The motifs vary from year to year and can include traditional Christmas motifs such as winter landscapes, Christmas scenes, as well as traditional Finnish motifs.
Arabia Christmas card plaquettes are known for their fine craftsmanship and detailed design. They have often been used as decorations for Christmas, either hung on the wall or placed on a stand or table, but are actually also designed as Christmas cards.
The tradition of giving Christmas cards started in Victorian times in Britain and quickly spread to the rest of Europe and North America. The tradition of sending Christmas cards has today become a part of Christmas celebrations for many people around the world and is a beautiful way to spread joy, warmth and a sense of community in the festive season.
Today, Arabia Christmas card plaquettes are highly sought after and are considered an important part of Finnish design history.
