Up for auction is this very nice porcelain plate found at an estate sale, see picture. It is from Royal Copenhagen, and is The Christmas Plate 1974 Winter Twilight by Kai Lange. It is done in blues and features a winter scene with a pine tree, trees, an owl, and a moon up in the sky. Also on the plate is '1974'. It measures approximately 7" in diameter. The plate is in good condition; very little if any dust and no chips or cracks that I can see. On the back of the plate is 'the Royal Copenhage insignia, MD Vinter Kumring Winter Twilight KL'. There is also an insert that talks about the plate:
If Winter comes, can Spring be far behind? - Shelley's famous words from his Ode to the West Wind express well the mood which may seize anybody living through a Nordic winter. In his motif for this year's Christmas plate the artist Kai Lange conveys not only the restful stillness when Nature seems to sleep and only a few animals can eke out a living, but also the beauty of this season which after all holds the promise that the cold twilight of midwinter will, in time, turn into the light and warmth of spring.
I do not have a certificate of authenticity, but I do have the mentioned booklet about this plate. I do not have the original box for this plate. Due to the porcelain, insurance will be required for shipping this item.
