Product description:
1973 Royal Copenhagen Christmas plate,
designed by Kaj Lange, has the title
Going Home for Christmas.
Royal Copenhagen's Christmas plate from
1973 depicts the homeward journey, to many
people a prelude to reliving old Christmas
traditions which are reminiscent of home
and the family gathering.
Kaj Lange chose a motif which conveys a
feeling of expectancy and excitement of the
reunion with family and friends. Also it
depicts a historic scene, the locomotive, the
E-engine, which was the last of the steam
engines used by the Danish Railways. It has
now given way to further technical develop-
ments and is a reminder of an era gone by.
