Bing & Grøndahl released the world's first Christmas plate in 1895, an idea that came from Harald Bing, who wanted to develop a series with Danish Christmas scenarios. The Christmas plate, titled 'Behind the Frozen Window,' was designed by F. A. Hallin. The plate was only produced in 400 copies, and subsequently the molds were destroyed. This makes the plate extremely rare and sought after today.
After the introduction of the first Christmas plate, Bing & Grøndahl continued the tradition of releasing a new Christmas plate every year. Each plate had a unique motif, typically featuring a Christmas or winter-related scene.
Unfortunately, Bing & Groendahl closed in 1987, and the production of the Christmas plates was taken over by Royal Copenhagen, who still continues the tradition of releasing annual Christmas plates under the Bing & Grøndahl name to this day. Bing & Grøndahl's Christmas plates are famous all over the world and are an important representative of Denmark as the motifs on the plates show a wide range of Denmark's proud landmarks.
