Desiree H.C. Andersen Christmas plate 1985 Kronborg Castle

Desiree H.C. Andersen Christmas plate 1985 with a motif of Kronborg Castle is an atmospheric Danish Christmas plate, where the sea, the ship and the striking castle come together in the classic blue-and-white porcelain expression. The year 1985 appears on the front and makes the plate easy to identify for collectors, while the motif gives it a special story and historical depth.

The motif is connected to H.C. Andersen's universe and brings to mind Holger Danske and the legendary atmosphere of Kronborg. The maritime motif with waves and sailing ship in front of the castle gives the plate life and movement, while the cool blue colour creates the familiar Christmas atmosphere that many appreciate in the classic Danish Christmas plates.

The artist behind it is Svend Otto S., and the plate is manufactured by Porcelænsfabrikken Désirée, a large and highly recognised Danish porcelain factory. Over the years, the series with H.C. Andersen motifs has gained a permanent place with both collectors and those who want tradition, fairy tale and Danish design in the home. This plate is therefore an obvious choice if you are looking for an H.C. Andersen Christmas plate with year, a well-known Danish motif and a clear story.

The plate is made in the good, robust quality that characterises Porcelænsfabrikken Désirée. It is not only decorative, but can also be used for food and works well as a plate for everyday use. At the same time, it is dishwasher safe and has holes on the back for hanging, so it can be used both on the table and as wall decoration.

Although this Christmas plate was produced many years ago, it comes from the remaining stock from Porcelænsfabrikken Désirée, which we acquired in 2006. Therefore, almost all our plates from the series are still unused. This makes it extra attractive for those who want older Danish porcelain with history, but who also want the pleasure of a piece that still appears beautiful and usable.

It is beautiful on its own, in a collection of Danish Christmas plates or together with a matching cup from the series. Also as a gift for a collector, an H.C. Andersen enthusiast or a lover of classic Danish porcelain, it is an obvious choice.
