Description

“Helping Hands – Plate” is the second plate in the Annual Christmas Plate Series, created by P. Buckley Moss in 1985. This delightful holiday scene brings the warmth of a family gathering to life as children assist their mother in preparing a festive meal. The cozy indoor setting, complete with an elaborately set table and an adorable family dog resting beneath, evokes a sense of togetherness and holiday cheer. The lace curtains, elegant wooden furniture, and fine china add a touch of old-fashioned charm to the scene, creating a nostalgic atmosphere that celebrates the holiday season’s most cherished traditions.

The plate’s rich colors—ranging from the warm wood tones of the furniture to the vibrant reds and greens of the holiday decorations—are complemented by the finely detailed clothing worn by the characters. The intricate patterns on the wallpaper and curtains further enhance the warmth and homeliness of the setting. The careful attention to detail makes this scene feel both personal and timeless, perfect for bringing the spirit of Christmas into any home.

Produced by Anna Perenna, this plate is made from true hard-paste porcelain and features a hard-glazed finish for durability and long-lasting beauty. As part of a limited edition series of 7,500 plates, each piece comes boxed and includes a Certificate of Authenticity. The plate was hand-crafted in Bavaria, West Germany, and is designed for decorative purposes only.

“Helping Hands” is the perfect addition to any holiday collection, offering a glimpse into the joys of family life during the Christmas season. It’s a wonderful gift for collectors or anyone who appreciates the nostalgia and warmth of traditional holiday scenes.
