Product Description

The motif of this 1989 Desirée annual cup
from The Porcelain Factory Desiree, also
known as Désirée Denmark, Svend Jensen of
Denmark, Old Copenhagen Blue is found in the
Hans Christian Andersen fairytale The Old
House.
The 1989 Hans Christian Andersen Annual Cup
had the same motif as the 1989 Svend Jensen
Christmas plate. So the 1989 Desiree Annual
Cup and the 1989 Desiree Christmas plate
are actaully a beautiful coffee set with
plate and cup.
Hans Christian Andersen writes so lifelike
about The Old House, which is standing side
by side with new beautiful houses. The old
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.
Once again the artist behind many Desiree
Annual cups, Svend Otto S., has designed an
expressive Annual cup.
Désirée started the Annual cup series in
1982 and ended it in 2001. So 20 different
sets were made to complete a perfect coffee
set.
All motifs of the Hans Christian Andersen
annual cups from Désirée are inspired
by Hans Christian Andersen´s Fairy Tales.
