The Danes observed a custom of taking a platter of delicacies to friends at the holidays. To honor the giver, recipients would hang the plate after the food was eaten. By the late 19 th and early 20 th centuries, the Christmas plate tradition became popular in other parts of Europe . Every Christmas since 1969, Wedgwood, the famous English manufacturer of fine china and developer of Jasperware in 1770, offers a limited edition collectors' plate. The modern collector plate ranges in cost from $75 to $125. This auction features plates from 1972, 1976, 1977, 1981, and 1986. Each plate measures approximately 8.125 inches (20.6 cm) in diameter and 25.6 inches (65 cm) in circumference, and is embossed with "Wedgwood, Made in England" on the back. The center image has an English landmark, which varies depending on the year, but each plate has a white wreath of holly on the edge. All plates are in excellent condition. T are no chips or cracks, but the plates were hung on a wall for many years and have some light metallic marks from the plate hangers on the backs and edges. The original boxes are not available. Further details on each plate and pictures are below. Seldom will you find a single plate, much less a group of five in exceptional condition. Don't miss this opportunity to fill in your collection!
