A Life Dreaming of Collecting Year Plates: Cherishing and Increasing Them Every Year Since Marriage♡

I Want to Collect Year Plates ♡

Do You Know About "Year Plates"?

Year plates are specially designed plates sold by various brands every year to commemorate that year. They usually go on sale around Christmas of the previous year for the next year's edition. *

The plates, often referred to as Christmas plates, from Royal Copenhagen are particularly famous ♡ Many people start collecting them due to significant life events, such as marriage or the birth of a child, and a display of year plates creates a luxurious and heartwarming sight.

Each plate is beautiful in itself, and collecting them allows you to reflect on how much time has passed and the events of each year, creating a very wonderful and admirable habit ♡

I would like to introduce wonderful year plates to collect together with my husband, starting from the year we got married, categorized by brand ♡

Brand Introducing Year Plates ①

<<Royal Copenhagen>>

The most famous brand for year plates is undoubtedly Royal Copenhagen. Since 1908, they have been consistently manufacturing and selling year plates every year for over 100 years.

Currently, year plates are sold for around 10,000 yen each, but older ones have premium prices, costing as much as 1.5 million yen on the official website!

Every change of year, they destroy the molds for the previous designs, so the same plate is never made again, making them so valuable ♡

Brand Introducing Year Plates ②

<<Herend>>

The "Viennese Roses" line made for the Habsburg family is popular. The Hungarian brand Herend also showcases year plates *

Herend's year plates are characterized by illustrations of the zodiac signs ♡ Currently, the color is green, but every 12 years it changes to red or black, allowing for continuous enjoyment of different plates ♡

Brand Introducing Year Plates ③

<<Wedgwood>>

Wedgwood is famous for selling limited-edition ornaments every Christmas, and their year plates are also very cute ♡

The smooth matte texture and color of the stoneware, combined with the beautiful three-dimensional relief in white, is artistic and stunning. *

Wedgwood's jasper can serve as a decorative piece or a functional accessory, and it's simply breathtaking ♡

Brand Introducing Year Plates ④

<<Peter Rabbit>>

The British brand Wedgwood also releases Peter Rabbit year plates every Christmas, in addition to the jasper series.

While plates from other brands are all hand-painted or sculpted and cost around 10,000 yen each, Peter Rabbit plates are printed and cost about 4,000 yen each.

Besides year plates, birthday plates are also cute, making them a great gift for baby showers. *

I Want to Collect Precious Plates Along with Memories ♡

I introduced year plates and Christmas plates sold by various brands. *

Collecting them every year is wonderful, and

adding them for significant events like the year we started dating, the year we got married, or the year our child was born...

is also lovely ♡

It would also be extremely romantic to search for and gift a plate from the year of birth as an antique!

The "year plates" create even more anticipation for spending time with a loved one.

I can't wait to buy the first one as we start our newlywed life ♡
