Comments on: Fritz Wegner’s Christmas Plates https://spitalfieldslife.com/2021/12/20/fritz-wegners-christmas-plates-o/ In the midst of life I woke to find myself living in an old house beside Brick Lane in the East End of London Mon, 20 Dec 2021 22:49:22 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=7.0 By: Susan https://spitalfieldslife.com/2021/12/20/fritz-wegners-christmas-plates-o/#comment-1442335 Mon, 20 Dec 2021 22:49:22 +0000 https://spitalfieldslife.com/?p=190074#comment-1442335 I immediately wondered (and worried) if the rest of his family made it out, but was relieved by this info from his obituary https://www.theguardian.com/artanddesign/2015/mar/24/fritz-wegner

I happily collect things to be treasured at this time of year. My latest is a hand made glass bauble bought last night from Basel Weinachtsmarkt. It’s of a court jester dressed in black and white and like the black shepherd’s crook symbol, particular to the Canton of Baselstadt. Another favourite is a red an black print of a choirboy I bought from a gallery I worked in 25 years ago. I love displaying it on a shelf every year.

They sometimes come up on eBay…grab one when ever you can. Its wonderful at Christmas Time and on its 4th generation.

Mass produced and cheap these may be but I find them quite charming.

Is this some English company? Mr. Google doesn’t seem to know anything about this.
It’s a lovely collection of plates, perfect for the season. So Merry Christmas to you all.
