Royal Copenhagen Christmas Plate 1996 ‘Light The Street Lamps’

1996 Royal Copenhagen Christmas plate, designed by Svend Vestergaard, has the title ‘Lighting the Street Lamps’.

The motif of the plate is found in the little town Fåborg on the island of Funen. People are on their way home from Christmas shopping in the dusk, and the night watchman is lightin the gaslights in the streets. Two children have stopped, and fascinated they follow how the little eveningstars in the street are lit. In the background we see the belltower of Fåborg’s original church, which was built aroun 1250. In app. 1500 the belltower was built, and after the reformation the church was demolished, whereas the belltower remained, because it was used as a landmark for sailors. Today the belltower is the landmark of Fåborg.
