About the product

1908 Royal Copenhagen Christmas plate, designed by Chr. Thomsen, has the title Maria with child. Royal Copenhagen Christmas plate 1908 was only produced in 1908 In 1885 Royal Copenhagen, which dates back to 1775,engaged Arnold Krog as artistic leader. Arnold Krog introduced what is now known as Danish underglaze painting. The Christmas plate from Royal Copenhegen is an outstanding representative of this technique. Royal Copenhagen's first Christmas plate was created in 1908 and every year since then another plate has been introduced. The Christmas plate is only produced during the year in question, then the molds are destroyed. As Royal Copenhagen had no idea of the success of the Christmas plate, the first one was produced in a very limited number. The colours of this first plate is Royal Copenhagen's characteristic blue and white, and the motif is Madonna with child, sur- rounded by a halo.
