Ole Lukøje 1980 Desiree H.C. Andersen Christmas plate

This Desiree H.C. Andersen Christmas plate from 1980 combines Christmas atmosphere, fairy tale, and classic Danish porcelain in one motif. This year's plate features a motif from H.C. Andersen's Ole Lukøje and is decorated in the well-known blue shades that suit the story so beautifully. The motif shows Ole Lukøje with his umbrella by a sleeping child and a Christmas tree with lights, while the year 1980 appears at the bottom of the plate. This gives the plate both a clear identity and a special collector's value for you who are looking for precisely this annual plate.

The motif contains the quiet, dreamy atmosphere that makes Ole Lukøje a beloved H.C. Andersen fairy tale. Here, the fantasy of childhood and the warmth of Christmas meet in a scene that exudes calm, storytelling, and nostalgia. It is precisely this type of motif that makes H.C. Andersen Christmas plates from Désirée so popular among both collectors and those who wish to decorate the home with porcelain with history and soul.

The Christmas plate is designed by Svend Otto S. and manufactured by Porcelænsfabrikken Désirée, a large and well-recognized Danish porcelain factory. The series is known for its fairy-tale motifs and for the good, robust quality that makes the plates practical to use. This plate is therefore not only a decorative collector's plate, but can also be used for food and works well as a dinner plate. It is dishwasher safe and has holes on the back for hanging, so you can easily use it both on the table and as wall decoration.

Although this is an older Christmas plate, it is still an obvious choice in a modern home. Porcelain with history adds personality, and it is a pleasure to be able to use beautiful quality objects again and again rather than choosing new production. The plate can stand alone as an atmospheric collector's item, be included in a wall of Christmas plates, or be combined with a matching cup from the series for a fine H.C. Andersen set.

This plate comes from the remaining stock from Porcelænsfabrikken Désirée, which we purchased in 2006, and therefore almost all our plates from the series are still unused. This makes it extra interesting for collectors who want older Désirée Christmas plates in beautiful and original condition.
