ROYAL COPENHAGEN 1967 Porcelin Christmas Plate - The Royal Oak
1967 Christmas annual
7" in diameter
by Royal Copenhagen
Artist: Kai Lange
1967 Royal Copenhagen Christmas plate, designed by Kaj Lange, has the title The Royal Oak near J¾gerspris (approx. 1400 years old). Royal Copenhagen's Christmas plate from 1967 depicts the oldest tree in Denmark, probably in all of Europe, Kongeegen (the King oak) near J¾gerspris on Zealand. This oak is thought to be 1500-2000 years old. This oak is found in the north forest, together with two oaks of almost the same age. In 1973 the last main branch broke off the oak,which at that time had a and in circumference. in 1986 a graft was taken from the oak, and the Danner oak (the graft), was planted near J¾gerspris castle by His Royal Highness Prince Henrik of Denmark. Further to the old tree, we see children riding their ponies in the snow-covered forest. Founded in 1775, Royal Copenhagen is one of the worldÕs oldest companies, and for more than 235 years our products have been made with not only the deepest respect for tradition, but also the highest standards of craftsmanship.
