Royal Copenhagen Christmas Plate

Factory First Quality indicates that the piece passed all of Royal Copenhagen's rigorous quality control standards at the time of production. It is free from the manufacturing imperfections or glaze flaws that would otherwise designate a piece as a 'second.'

While these plates are made of high-quality porcelain, they are primarily designed as decorative collectibles. We recommend using them for display purposes rather than for serving food to preserve the integrity of the glaze and design.

The standard 7-inch size is versatile and fits most standard plate hangers or wire display stands. Ensure you use a hanger with protective rubber tips to prevent scratching the porcelain rim.

The 1966 edition is part of Royal Copenhagen's long-standing tradition of annual Christmas plates, which began in 1908. The Blackbird motif is a classic example of the brand's signature blue-and-white underglaze technique, which has become a hallmark of European holiday decor.

Dust the plate gently with a soft, dry microfiber cloth to maintain the finish. If you need to store it, wrap the plate in acid-free tissue paper and place it in a padded box to prevent chipping or surface scratches.
