This Year’s Special Anniversary Christmas Plate

In addition to the large collection of Christmas plates, you can also see sketches and preparatory works for this year’s plate, which has a very special connection to Frederiksborg.

Frederiksborg has been featured on the Christmas plate three times: in 1953, 2022, and 2025.
This year’s plate from Royal Copenhagen naturally marks the 250th anniversary of the Royal Danish Porcelain Factory and depicts a bust of Queen Dowager Juliane Marie, one of the factory’s founders in 1775.

Next to her bust on the windowsill stands the very first annual plate from 1908, and through the window you can glimpse the church tower of Frederiksborg Castle — the place where Juliane Marie married Frederick V in 1752.
