CHRISTMAS PLATE 2026

Christmas Plate of the Year 2026 – Moonlight Saga

A new chapter in a timeless tradition

True to tradition, it is here again this year: Porsgrunds Porselænsfabrik’s Christmas plate for 2026, with the theme Moonlight Saga. This year’s plate features a beautiful silhouette of a tree bathed in moonlight – a timeless motif signed by Lisbeth Lutnæs, where the iconic cobalt blue highlights the winter mood.

A new designer every five years

Every five years, Porsgrund’s Christmas plate takes on a new artistic expression through a new designer. This year, illustrator and designer Lisbeth Lutnæs has once again been tasked with putting her stamp on the traditional series. Over the years, she has created atmospheric motifs for both Porsgrund Porselæn and Hadeland Glassverk, and with Moonlight Saga, she has designed a series of five Christmas motifs for Porsgrund.

The series’ recurring theme is the moon and moonlight. This year’s motif is built around silhouettes against the night sky, where the characteristic cobalt blue – Porsgrund’s signature on the Christmas plates – is used thematically to highlight the night and create contrast with the bright moonlight.

From hand drawing to porcelain

Each motif starts as a hand drawing, is then cut out in linoleum and printed. Finally, the motif is processed digitally before being adapted to the porcelain surface. It is this process that gives the illustrations their distinctive expression – not perfect, but lively.

Norwegian-made quality

The Christmas plate is produced and decorated at Porsgrunds Porselænsfabrik. The plate is beautiful as a decorative object in itself, but can also be nicely used for Christmas food. Set the table for breakfast or a coffee party, or combine the piece with other dinnerware sets. The beautiful decoration adds that little extra to the table setting, and creates a warm and cozy atmosphere.

Tip: The Christmas plate comes with a hanging bracket and can adorn the wall as part of the Christmas decorations. Some keep it on display all year round – a beautiful and personal collectible from Christmas to Christmas.
