These 2 lovely porcelain Christmas side plates are designed by well-known elf painter Lars Carlson and Made in Japan. They are a very nice quality shiny porcelain.
There are 2 different images of little Christmas Elves in the center of the plates. One little "Santa" with his sack and the other, two little elves working at the fire. The plate edges are gold-trimmed. The rims feature matching pine cone motives encircling the center picture.
Perfect little side dishes for cookies, candies, nuts and other Yuletide treats! Or just as part of your Christmas display.
Approx size = 6 1/2 x 6 1/2 inches.
Wonderful condition - I can see no chips, cracks or missing paint.
"The well-known elf painter Lars Carlson, born in 1921, has dedicated much of his life to elves; on Christmas cards, posters and wrapping paper. He has produced a phenomenal number of elves. Christmas, Easter, and congratulation cards, produced by Axel Eliasson’s publishing house in Stockholm over 50 years ago, are being reissued. He has also illustrated and written picture books for children. Lars Carlson is the creator of the God Jul wine service (1999) and the God Jul porcelain service (2000). He is inspired by his own childhood Christmas in Finnskogen and has painted Christmas motifs since the 1930s. The motifs set your imagination free, taking you into the world of Christmas elves. Lars Carlson’s vivid elf motifs are among the most beautiful in the world." (excerpt from http://www.rakuten.com/prod/god-jul-dinnerware-and-glassware-by-lars-carlsson/220680026.html
