This is a Royal Doulton vintage Christmas plate made in 1977. It is the first plate in the Series. It comes in a lift open hinged box, decorated with snowflakes and holly and ivy in green, white and red. The box has "Merry Christmas," and "Royal Doulton" on the front and on the lift up top of the box inside. 

The plate itself is disoplayed in a green velvet holder inside the case. The plate is white with a gold trim. It has two Victorian ice skaters in the center, a man and woman/boy and girl, and it is a man made ice pond. 

It reads, "Christmas 1977."

The rim of the plate has a textured feel to it with holly and ivy in the same color as the plate and there is also colored holly and ivy surrounding the image.

The back has "Christmas Plate," in red. There is also a poem which reads:

To friends long parted, kindly meeting,
Christmas brings a happy greeting,
Love and friendship both unite
To make all joyous, gay and bright. 


Condition: The plate is in excellent condition. The box has a torn side corner, (.05 inches) and slight wear on all of the outside corners.  but it certainly serves it's purpose in protecting the plate.
