The legend of the Christmas Plate Taken from the book (available on Amazon) titled The Story of Bing and Grondahl by Pat Owen " The Legend Of Christmas Plates Many, many years ago the wealthy people of Europe started a Christmas custom of giving to each of their servants a platter heaped with fruit, cookies, candies and other good things to eat. At first the platter was probably a crude thing of wood, and very little thought was given to it. The rich focused their attention on the contents of the tray, hoping to bring a little cheer into the lives of the recipients by giving them especially good things to eat around the holiday season. The servants looked forward each Christmas to receiving their gifts. Since these people had few things in their homes which were not utilitarian, perhaps it was only natural that they began hanging the platters on their walls after the food was eaten. They referred to these platters as their "Christmas Plates." Later the servants of one family started showing their Christmas Plates to the servants of other households. When the employers realized that there was rivalry among the servants of the various households regarding who received the most beautiful plates, they began giving more consideration to the platter itself. Eventually beautiful platters were made of many materials, such as metal, wood and pottery. They were sometimes elaborately carved or decoratively painted. In fact, the wealthy, in an effort to outdo each other, commenced devoting more attention to the plate itself than to its contents. Later they started dating each platter so that it would be easy to see which year each had been given. Thus began the custom of making and collecting Christmas Plates."

2) About Bing & Grondahl taken from Pat Owen's Book titled the Story of Bing & Grondahl - Bing & Grndahl was established in 1853 when Copenhagen was still a small town. The factory was situated out in the country a little west of town and, as shown by' the painting on page 8, was surrounded by green fields and trees. Some of the original buildings are still in use today, but they are now completely surrounded by the city of Copenhagen. Frederik Vilhelm Grndahl, a young sculptor, left the employ of The Royal Copenhagen Porcelain Manufactory when that company refused to go along with his suggestion that the figurines of the famous sculptor Thorvaldsen be copied in "biscuit" (unglazed) porcelain. Having considerably more ambition than money, Grndahl took his ideas to M. H. and J. H. Bing, prosperous businessmen who owned a store which sold stationery, books and objects of art. Combining the capital and business acumen of the Bing brothers with the artistic ideas of Grndahl, the Bing & Grndahl Porcelain Factory became a reality.
3) From wikipedia - Jul, the Danish Christmas, is celebrated throughout December starting either at the beginning of Advent or on December 1 with a variety of traditions. Christmas Eve, Juleaften, the main event of Yule, is celebrated on evening of December 24,[1] the evening before the two Christmas holidays, December 25 and 26th. Celebrating on the eve before the holiday is also used for most other holidays in Denmark. In the evening an elaborate dinner is eaten with the family. It usually consists of roast pork, roast duck, roast goose or stuffed turkey with potatoes, caramelized potatoes, red cabbage and plenty of brown gravy. For dessert, risalamande, a cold rice pudding dish is served with a hot cherry sauce, traditionally with a whole almond hidden inside. The lucky finder of this almond is entitled to a small gift. In some families, it's tradition that the rice pudding dessert is made with the remaining rice porridge from the previous evening, a meal served on the 23rd, Lillejuleaften (Little Yule Eve), with cinnamon, brown sugar and butter. It is eaten warm with a fruit drink or sweet malt beer. After the meal is complete, the family will dance around the Juletr and sing Christmas carols and hymns like "Nu er det jul igen" (Now it is Yule again) and "Et barn er fdt i Bethlehem" (A child has been born in Bethlehem).[2] When the singing is complete, presents which are tucked under the tree, are handed out by the children or in turn. After they have been opened, there are more snacks, candy, chips and sometimes the traditional Glgg. In Denmark there is a tradition to go to Church on the afternoon of Christmas Eve, on the 24th. Going to church on Christmas Eve has become very popular. The services on 24 December are by far the most heavily frequented services of the year with around a third of the population attending.
