Desiree H.C. Andersen Christmas plate 1992 with Rundetårn

This Desiree H.C. Andersen Christmas plate from 1992 combines Danish Christmas tradition, fairy-tale atmosphere and classic blue-and-white porcelain art in one beautiful motif. On the plates in the series, you encounter H.C. Andersen's universe, and here the scene is shaped as an atmospheric cityscape with the distinctive Rundetårn, surrounded by houses, a winter street, horse-drawn carriage and people making their way through the city. The year 1992 appears as a visible part of the decoration and makes the plate easy to identify for both collectors and those seeking a special Christmas plate with Danish cultural history.

The motif is drawn by Svend Otto S., who with a confident hand has created a lively and narrative composition. The deep cobalt blue colour gives the plate the classic expression that many associate with Danish Christmas porcelain, while the urban setting and the tower add character, recognisability and historical charm to the motif. It is a plate that appeals both to the collector of H.C. Andersen Christmas plates and to the person who wants a decorative plate with a Danish motif.

The plate is made by Porcelænsfabrikken Désirée, a large and well-renowned Danish porcelain factory. It is made in the good, robust quality that characterises the factory's Christmas plates, and it is therefore not only created as a collector's item or wall decoration. It can also be used for food and works well as a dinner plate or cake plate in everyday life. At the same time, it is dishwasher safe, and holes on the back make it easy to hang it on the wall if you want to use it as part of the Christmas decorations or a personal plate wall.

This Desiree Christmas plate is also a fine choice for those who appreciate older Danish design with history and durability. In 2006, we acquired the remaining stock from Porcelænsfabrikken Désirée, and therefore virtually all our H.C. Andersen plates from the series are still unused, even though they were produced many years ago. This makes them a special opportunity to obtain original Danish porcelain with soul, quality and a long lifespan.

The plate can stand beautifully on its own, be hung up as a Christmas decoration or be combined with a matching cup from the series if you want a harmonious set for coffee, tea or serving.
