BING & GRONDAHL Christmas Jubilee & Centennial Plates

The 1895 Bing & Grondahl Christmas Plate is usually considered to be the world's first true Collector Plate. In 1915, to honor the first 20 years of Christmas plates, B&G issued their first Jubilee plate, and have continued to issue a Jubilee plate every five years since then.  In each case, they have taken the motif from a popular prior year's Christmas plate and reissued it in a larger 9 inch size with the date of the first plate (1895) and the issue date of the Jubilee.   The issue price for the 2005 plate was $125.

In 1995, to celebrate the 100 years of Christmas plates, B&G issued a number of limited edition CENTENNIAL pieces, some of which are also listed at the bottom of this page.  

All plates on this page are FIRST QUALITY and in EXCELLENT CONDITION (no chips, cracks, repairs, or other damage).  

In the table below, the first date is the year that the Jubilee plate was issued, and the middle date in parentheses ( ) is the year of the original Christmas plate from which the motif was taken.  For example, the first photo is the 1915 Jubilee plate (issued in 1915), which features the motif taken from the 1895 Christmas plate, and which I now sell for $95.
