The Snowman 1985, Royal Copenhagen Christmas Plate

1985 Royal Copenhagen Christmas plate, designed by Kaj Lange, has the title The Snowman. Royal Copenhagen’s Christmas plate from 1985 depicts two children making a snow man. Adults tend to view the dark days of winter as a hindrance, while children instinctively take advantage of the joys the season has to offer. They possess the admirable ability to create through play. For children snow means something quite different than inconvenience, and one of its many uses is for making a festive snowman which welcomes Christmas and New Year guests. Finding creative enjoyment in something which is a nuisance to many adults is an ability well worth remembering when one has left childhood behind.
