Desiree H.C. Andersen Christmas plate 1983 The Story of the Year

Desiree H.C. Andersen Christmas plate 1983 with motif from The Story of the Year combines Danish fairy-tale tradition, Christmas atmosphere and classic blue-and-white porcelain art. On the plate, small birds are seen gathered in the winter cold in a quiet farmyard setting, and the year 1983 is clearly included in the decoration. The motif leads the mind directly to H.C. Andersen's tale of the course of the year, the changing of nature and the hope of brighter times.

The Christmas plate is decorated by Svend Otto S., whose atmospheric line suits H.C. Andersen's poetic universe beautifully. The fine birds in the snow, the calm winter evening and the simple details give the plate a vivid and narrative expression, which makes it ideal both for collectors of H.C. Andersen plates and for you who want classic Danish Christmas decorations with history.

The manufacturer is Porcelænsfabrikken Désirée, a large and well-renowned Danish porcelain factory. The plate is made in the good, robust quality that characterizes the factory's Christmas plates, and it is therefore not only decorative. It can also be used for food and works well as a cake plate or dinner plate in everyday life. At the same time, it is dishwasher safe and has holes on the back for hanging, so it can easily be used both on the table and as wall decoration.

Although this H.C. Andersen Christmas plate was produced many years ago, it comes from the remaining stock from Porcelænsfabrikken Désirée, which we purchased in 2006. Therefore, virtually all our Desiree Christmas plates are still unused. This makes them particularly attractive to collectors, but also for you who would like to choose older quality products with history, soul and long durability rather than new production.

The plate is beautiful on its own, but can also be combined with other Desiree H.C. Andersen Christmas plates for a personal collection with fairy-tale motifs. From 1982 and at least up to and including 2001, a matching cup was also produced, so many choose to combine plate and cup as a charming set for Christmas coffee, cookies and cozy moments.
