🔥 Lenox 🔥 Fine Ivory ~ Annual ‘Christmas Trees Around the World’

LIMITED EDITION - ETERNAL Decorated in a rich band of gold circling the perimeter. The story unfolds in a beautiful snow covered Swiss Village during the Victorian Era and the holiday's. It's the week before Christmas and the villagers are out visiting friends and neighbors celebrating the season together. In Switzerland, children agree that on 6 December Samichlaus, the Swiss Santa Claus, gives out mandarins, nuts and chocolates, and on Christmas Eve, Dec 24, the Christkind brings the gifts. It wasn't until the 19th century that Christmas trees - known in Germany since the 1500s - slowly began to appear in Swiss households. Today there is scarcely a Swiss family with children that doesn't have a tree. CHRISTMAS COLLECTION - Highly collectible Special Edition Plate CHRISTMAS 1995 "Christmas 1995" is the fifth in a limited edition series of fine china plates commemorating the origin and development of the Christmas tree tradition. Each plate was issued annually in the chronological sequence in which the Christmas tree became a tradition around the world.
