Royal Copenhagen Christmas Plates have been delighting collectors the world over for more than half a century. The beginnings of this happy tradition are lost in the mists of Danish antiquity but the custom of giving Christmas plates seems to have originated in early feudal times when the lord of the manor presented plates filled with goodies to his serfs.
Today, of course, Royal Copenhagen Christmas Plates are welcome gifts at any time of the year with many collectors striving to acquire complete sets.
Each plate, from the beginning in 1908, is pictured in this book along with an interesting and informative description. This is a really valuable book for any collector or anyone interested in Royal Copenhagen Christmas Plates.
