This example centers a lush winter botanical bouquet of white Christmas roses, purple crocus, snowdrops, holly, and berries, bordered by a cobalt-blue ground patterned with gold stars and a trellis lattice, all framed by a wide, hand-applied gilt band. The reverse carries the full Medusa backstamp along with the Rosenthal and Versace marks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003eAnnual Christmas plates in this series are actively tracked by collectors, and boxed examples — like this one, complete with its original Rosenthal-branded presentation box — are notably harder to find on the secondary market than loose plates, with recent sold and listed comparables for this exact 2002 edition ranging up into the high $700s.

This pale blue example carries that tradition forward two centuries later, its lid and body wrapped in a classic laurel garland band, hand-applied in the same white sprigging technique Wedgwood has used since the 18th century.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe medallion on the lid depicts Britannia — trident raised, cloak billowing — driving a chariot pulled by a pair of rearing horses, a scene drawn from the long tradition of Britannia as the personification of Britain on coins and medals dating back to Roman-era currency. This piece belongs to Wedgwood's Royal Mint Classics series, a collaboration pairing Wedgwood's ceramic artistry with coinage-inspired imagery, designed by Philip Nathan — a sculptor and medallist whose work for the Royal Mint includes some of Britain's most familiar coin designs. Produced in a limited edition of 2,000, this piece links two great English institutions of craftsmanship, the Wedgwood works and the Royal Mint, in a single object.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003eA compact, well-proportioned lidded box, equally suited to display or genuine use as a keepsake or trinket box.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you\".
