Royal Copenhagen Christmas 2016

Now that Christmas is fast approaching it is also time for Christmas plates from Royal Copenhagen and Bing & Grondahl. As is tradition they are available together with other collectibles that also carry the theme of the Christmas plate.
 
The theme of the Royal Copenhagen Christmas plate this year is a girl going iceskating in front of the Danish Royal Theatre in Copenhagen.
 
 
The Bing & Grondahl Christmas plate shows two children looking at a snowman in front of Hans Christian Andersen's house. This Christmas plate brings memories of the Bing & Grondahl Christmas plate from 1954, where two children are building a snowman in front of Hans Christian Andersen's house.
 
 
Royal Copenhagen also continues its tradition of issuing an annual Santa Claus and Christmas tree.
 
Below you will see this year's Christmas collectibles. Just click on the image to go to the collectible.

Procedure:
Wash the oranges and punch holes in them. Then insert the cloves into the orange.
Then put the coffee beans, sugar cubes and clove orange into a tall glass with a tight fitting lid.
Pour in the vodka and close the lid.

Make it easy to decorate with plates!

As it has become modern to decorate with plates we often have people calling us to ask, how best to hang or set up plate and if we have some good solutions to this. I will share our options for hanging or setting up plates making it possible for you to better decorate with your plates, too.

Here you will find our plate hangers!

Plate Stands

The plate stand is for placing the plate on your table or bookcase. It can be set to the tilt that best suits you. We have plate stands for you in three different sizes of plates: Up to 20 cmfrom 21 to 27 cmfrom 28 to 32 cm.

Hangers

Hangers are well-suited for hanging plates on the wall and the hanger can be set on the plate to make it hang as you wish. The hanger hold the plate with 4 hooks that you can see on the picture on the left above. We have the hanger in four sizes: Between 12 and 16 cmbetween 16 and 22 cmbetween 21 and 28 cm and between 27 and 38 cm.


Plate Hooks


Hooks for hanging Danish plates on the wall

Plate hooks are for plates that have two holes in the rim on the back. This is common in Danish plates, but is not seen as often on foreign plates. So if you have Danish Christmas or mother's day plates that you would like to hang on the wall, then this is a good and cheap solution.


Extra Strong Hanger for Heavy Plates or Dishes

If you have a large and heavy plate, maybe even of glass, then you need a hanger that can carry the weight. Here we offer you the extra strong hanger that can carry up to 20 kg. It is for plates and dishes between 24 and 38 cm, but if your plate is larger than that, we have extension pieces for the hanger to make it possible to reach the size you need. If you want to hang a dish on the wall, then this is the right choice.


Plate Hanger That Sticks

We also have hangers that can stick to the backside of the plate. This is a good solution, if you have plates without holes for hooks and do not wish to be able to see the 4 hooks from the hangers. These hangers can be had for plates with a diameter of max 20 cmmax 28 cm and above 28 cm and max 3 kg.


Plate Racks

If you have many beautiful plates that you also use as dinnerware, then a plate rack is a good idea. Here you will both have plates and cups set as decoration and at the same time you can easily take them down for use. On the picture you see a plate rack with the beautiful Desiree Hans Christian Andersen Christmas plates and cups.


Plate Holder
