Frankoma 1969 Christmas Plate – Laid in a Manger by John Frank
$7.69
1969 Frankoma Collector Plate – “Laid In A Manger” by John Frank
A quiet reverence settles over this 1969 Frankoma Christmas plate, where John Frank’s sculptural artistry captures the sacred stillness of the nativity. Titled Laid In A Manger, this limited collector’s edition was the first in Frankoma’s cherished holiday series — a tradition born of faith, clay, and Oklahoma craftsmanship.
Rendered in warm, earthy tones with Frankoma’s signature Prairie Green glaze, the plate evokes the hush of a winter’s night and the humble grace of new beginnings. Each detail — from the gentle curve of the manger to the tender expression of the Holy Child — invites reflection and reverence.
Whether displayed as a seasonal heirloom or gifted to mark a meaningful moment, this plate carries more than history. It carries heart.
