The brightest poinsettia shines from the top of the Christmas tree, casting its magical light on the crowd. The tree is decorated with red hearts and beautiful ribbon, and rays of Christmas joy. Even the little polar bear kid has found his way to the beautiful Christmas tree. This year's Christmas tree, created by artist Sven Vestergaard, is hand-painted with beautiful details and has been released every year since 2007.

about the designer

An early start....
At the age of 16 Sven Vestergaard (b. 1932) was employed at the Royal Copenhagen Porcelain Manufactory as an apprentice in the overglaze department. The effect of this decision is still evident in his meticulous attention to minute detail and the subtleties of the porcelain medium.
In 1959 Sven left the Royal Copenhagen Porcelain Manufactory and started working as illustrator at various Danish advertising agencies as well as Berlingske Tidende, Denmark's oldest newspaper.

...and a happy return
When the position as draughtsman in the factory's design studio became vacant in 1975, Sven Vestergaard, who had never lost his love for porcelain, was happy to return and develop his talents as an artist.
That same year Sven Vestergaard's artwork was chosen for the Christmas plate, "Danish Watermill", his first Christmas plate in a series of many.
In 1985 he became designer of Royal Copenhagen's Christmas plates and in 1989 he got his own studio, working on a freelance basis for Royal Copenhagen.
