The first recorded Limited
Edition collector plate came from
the Bing and Grondahl factory of Denmark in 1895. This now sought after collector plate, titled “Behind
The Frozen Window,” was the first
known commemorative plate to be limited
in production with date and
title information fired on the plate
itself. Today, it sells on Replacements for $6999.00! This collector plate was followed by a second
the following year as the first Annual Bing and
Grondahl Christmas plate titled “Jule Aften 1896.” An annual plate was produced
each year thereafter and still is today under
the Royal Copenhagen name."
