Desiree H.C. Andersen Christmas plate 1981 At the outermost sea

This Desiree H.C. Andersen Christmas plate from 1981 bears the motif At the outermost sea and opens up a atmospheric tale of cold, silence and fairy-tale grandeur. In the classic blue-and-white porcelain, a dramatic icy landscape is seen with a mighty iceberg in the background, while a figure and several dogs stand in the foreground and create a strong sense of humanity's encounter with nature's enormous forces. The year 1981 is written on the front and is an important part of the plate as a collector's item and annual plate.

The motif was created by Svend Otto S., who with his confident line gives H.C. Andersen's fairy tales a special depth and poetry. The series is manufactured by Porcelænsfabrikken Désirée, a large and well-recognized Danish porcelain factory that is known for its good and robust quality. This means that this H.C. Andersen plate is not only decorative, but can also be used for food and works well as a dinner plate in everyday life.

That is precisely some of what is special about the Désirée Christmas plates. They unite fairy tale, Danish design and practical usability in one and the same piece of porcelain. The plate is dishwasher safe and has holes on the back for hanging, so it can be used both on the table and as wall decoration. It is therefore ideal for you who collect Christmas plates, love H.C. Andersen, or wish to create a personal interior with Danish porcelain and history.

Although this Christmas plate was manufactured many years ago, it comes from the remaining stock from Porcelænsfabrikken Désirée, which we purchased in 2006. Therefore, virtually all our plates from the series are still unused. This makes it a fine choice for you who appreciate older quality design and the joy of giving beautiful porcelain new life in the home.

From 1982 and at least up to and including 2001, a matching cup was produced for the series, so many also choose to combine the H.C. Andersen plates with other parts from Désirée. However, this 1981 plate also stands beautifully on its own and is a gift idea with both history, artistic value and Danish fairy-tale atmosphere.
