Desiree H.C. Andersen Christmas plate 1989 The Old House

Desiree H.C. Andersen Christmas plate 1989 with a motif from the fairy tale The Old House combines Danish storytelling, classic blue-and-white porcelain decoration, and an atmosphere of winter, memories, and reflection. On the plate, the fine town scene with the old house side by side with the newer buildings is shown, and the year 1989 is written at the front in the motif as a clear part of the expression.

The motif is created by Svend Otto S., who with a confident line captures the special poetry that characterizes H.C. Andersen's universe. The Old House is a story of charm, remembrance, and respect for that which has history and soul. That very feeling is beautifully expressed here, where the wintry street, the old facades, and the small figures give the plate life and story.

The plate is made by Porcelænsfabrikken Désirée, a large and well-recognized Danish porcelain factory. The series with H.C. Andersen Christmas plates is loved by both collectors and those who want classic Danish porcelain with motif and meaning. This Christmas plate is not only decorative, but made in the good, robust quality that characterizes Désirée. It can therefore also be used for food and works well as a plate in everyday life, just as it is dishwasher safe.

On the back there are holes for hanging, so the plate can also easily be used as wall decoration in the kitchen, dining room, or summer house. It is ideal as part of a collection of H.C. Andersen plates, but also stands beautifully alone as a nostalgic and atmospheric feature in the decor. The blue-and-white porcelain makes it easy to combine with both classic and Nordic home style.

Although this Desiree 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 plates from the series are still unused. This makes it a particularly fine choice for you who appreciate original Danish porcelain with history, quality, and long durability. Choosing older porcelain like this is at the same time a beautiful way to bring sustainability, cultural heritage, and personality into the home.
