Hans Christian Andersen writes so lifelike
about The Old House, which is standing side

house seems out of place but it has a special
charm. The wide step, the carved window frames
and the bay which takes some of the view from
the other houses.
One day the small boy from the neighbour
opposite The Old House visist the old man
who is living in The Old House. The old man
tells stories about every single furniture
in his house.

Christmas plates, Svend Otto S., has
designed an expressive Christmas plate.
Désirée started the Christmas plate series
in 1970 and ended it in 2002.
All motifs of the Hans Christian Andersen
Christmas plates from Désirée were inspired
by Hans Christian Andersen´s Fairy Tales
