About the product
The motif of this 1987 Desiree Christmas plate 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 Thumbelina. The fishes in the pond had just bitten off the stalk of Thumbelina's water lily and the leaf was floating in the stream down the river. Thumbelina is very happy that she got away from the nasty toad and her son, to whom she should have been married. The white butterfly followed her down the river and finally it ended at the edge of the leaf. The motif of the Christmas plate shows Thumbelina who has tied the butterfly to the leaf. Then she flows faster. The designer of this Christmas plate was Svend Otto S., who has designed lots of Desiree Christmas plates. Désirée started the Christmas plate series in 1970 and ended it in 2002. All motifs of the Hans Christian Andersen Christmas plates from Désirée were inspired by Hans Christian Andersen´s Fairy Tales
