Royal Copenhagen has been making its Christmas plates for over a century, and each year brings a new winter scene in cobalt blue and white. They were collected year by year and hung on the wall each December, and these ones are ready to go to a new home. Choose a year that means something to you (a birthday, an anniversary, a first Christmas together), or build a run of your own. The blue deepens and softens across the relief, so each one feels like a little window onto a snowy Danish Christmas.
