Description:
The 100 years Anniversary of the Royal Copenhagen Factory is celebrated with
an Anniversary Plate in Green with Gold Border.
Sven Vestergaard has decorated the 2008 Christmas Plate, "Copenhagen Christmas",
with the most beautiful of the Danish Capital's Towers: The Stock Exchange, City Hall, the Round Tower, Christiansborg Palace, the Church of our Lady, Our Saviour's Church and the Marble Church. These distinctive towers and spires symbolise Copenhagen for visitors and locals alike. They are landmarks i a city blessed with a wealth of
beautiful architecture. Copenhagen's Towers are a unifying theme in the history of the Christmas Plate. With Our Saviours Church appearing in 1917 and the Church of Our Lady in 1949.
In the foreground the artist has drawn a boquet of Christmas Roses, taking as his inspiration the legend of a poor girl who wanted to take flowers to the Baby Jesus in his cradle. Having no money, she cried so fervently that Christmas roses grew where her tears struck the ground.
