Desiree H.C. Andersen annual cup 1996 The Snowdrop with saucer

This Desiree annual cup from 1996 is an atmospheric H.C. Andersen cup with a motif from the fairy tale The Snowdrop. In the classic blue-white color scale, the story unfolds with a delicate, wintry landscape, where the light and the subtle details bring to mind hope, spring, and the quiet poetry that characterizes H.C. Andersen's universe. It is a fairy tale cup that both adorns the table and brings storytelling and nostalgia into everyday life.

The cup is decorated by Lis Torbøl and appears with the calm, timeless design language that has made Desiree annual cups popular among both collectors and those who want a beautiful porcelain cup for everyday use. With a saucer, the set gets an elegant and cohesive expression, and as the motif is the same as on the Desiree Christmas plate from 1996, this annual cup is also ideal for those who wish to collect the series year by year.

Desiree introduced the series of annual cups in 1982, and the motifs are inspired by H.C. Andersen's fairy tales. At DPH - Danish Porcelain House, we have most year models up to 2001, and we bought the remaining stock of Desiree annual cups when Desiree closed. Therefore, we have a large selection, including also many cups without saucers, which are sold at an attractive price. However, this edition is delivered with a saucer and is a beautiful choice for both the collection and the coffee table.

As a coffee cup, teacup, or mug, it has a comfortable size, sits well in the hand, and is pleasant to drink from. The robust porcelain makes it suitable for daily use, and it is dishwasher safe. The blue white cup also matches beautifully with Desiree's Christmas plates and Mother's Day plates, but can also easily be combined with other porcelain tableware in both classic and modern homes.

A Desiree annual cup like this is at the same time an obvious gift idea for collectors, fairy tale lovers, or anyone who appreciates Danish design tradition, porcelain, and stories with soul.
