Désirée H.C. Andersen Christmas plate 1994 A String of Pearls

Désirée H.C. Andersen Christmas plate 1994 with motif from A String of Pearls combines Danish Christmas tradition, fairy-tale storytelling and classic blue-and-white porcelain art. On the plate, Roskilde Cathedral is depicted in an atmospheric winter scene, where small figures and town life in front of the church create depth, life and a historical atmosphere. The year 1994 stands clearly on the front and makes this annual plate easy to identify for both collectors and those seeking a special Christmas plate with Danish cultural history.

The motif is connected to H.C. Andersen's A String of Pearls, in which the author describes the experiences and sights one encounters on the journey through Denmark. Roskilde Cathedral here becomes one of the story's distinctive "pearls", and that is precisely why this H.C. Andersen plate is something special. It contains both the fairy tale's poetic gaze and a motif that many associate with Danish history, architecture and Christmas coziness.

The Christmas plate is decorated by Svend Otto S., whose confident line gives the scene both warmth and elegance. It is manufactured by Porcelænsfabrikken Désirée, a large and well-recognized Danish porcelain factory, which was known for its good and robust quality. Therefore, this Desiree Christmas plate is not only decorative as wall decoration or a collector's item, but can also be used for food and works well as a plate in everyday life. It is dishwasher safe and has holes on the back for hanging, so it can easily be used both on the table and on the wall.

Although the plate was produced in 1994, it comes from the remaining stock from Porcelænsfabrikken Désirée, which we purchased in 2006. Therefore, virtually all our H.C. Andersen plates from the series are still unused. This makes it extra interesting for you who would like to find older Danish porcelain with history, but which still appears suitable for use in a modern home.

This 1994 Christmas plate is also an obvious gift idea for collectors of Desiree plates, H.C. Andersen porcelain and Danish Christmas decorations. From 1982 and until at least 2001, a matching cup was also produced, so the plate can be beautifully combined with other parts from the series or stand alone as an atmospheric feature in the interior.
