Desiree H.C. Andersen Christmas plate 2001 Fredensborg Castle

Desiree H.C. Andersen Christmas plate 2001 with the motif Fredensborg Castle combines Danish Christmas tradition, porcelain art and H.C. Andersen history in one beautiful collector's item. The blue-and-white motif shows the atmospheric castle in winter dress, seen through the gate, with a figure in the foreground and the star in the dark evening sky. At the bottom of the plate stands the year 2001, which clearly links it to the release of that year's edition.

The motif differs from many other H.C. Andersen Christmas plates by not taking its point of departure in a specific fairy tale, but instead in a place with a close connection to the poet. Fredensborg Castle is a historical motif, which gives the plate a special character and adds to the series a fine story about H.C. Andersen and his contemporaries. The artist Lis Torbøl has created a calm and classic composition, in which the winter landscape and the well-known castle building appear with great elegance.

The plate is made by Porcelænsfabrikken Désirée, a large and well-recognized Danish porcelain factory. It is made in the good, robust quality that characterizes the factory's Christmas plates, and it can therefore be used for more than decoration. It is suitable both as a cake plate or dinner plate and as a decorative wall plate. In addition, it is dishwasher-safe and has holes on the back for hanging, so it is easy to use in everyday life and beautiful to have on display in December.

Although this H.C. Andersen plate was produced many years ago, it comes from the remaining stock from Porcelænsfabrikken Désirée, which we purchased in 2006. Therefore, virtually all plates from the series are still unused. That makes it extra attractive for both collectors and for you who would like to set a personal Christmas table with porcelain that has history, quality and soul.

The 2001 edition can also be combined with the matching cup from the same series, if you want a complete set. Alone or together with other Desiree Christmas plates, it adds classic Danish Christmas atmosphere, nostalgic charm and a beautiful touch of H.C. Andersen to the home.
