2014 Royal Copenhagen Christmas plate, designed by Sven Vestergaard, has the title Hans Christian Andersen. In 2014 the Royal Copenhagen Christmas plate depicts two children, Matilde and Alfred, who are on their way home with the Christmas tree on their sledge. They have stopped in front of the statue of Hans Christian Andersen, which is placed outside the Copenhagen city hall, erected in 1905. With the motif of this years Christmas series, Royal Copenhagen creates a lovely Christmas story with the two children, who of course remember the Hans Christian Andersen fairytale "The Fir Tree" that he wrote in 1845. The Royal Copenhagen Christmas series 2014 also include figurines of Matilde, who is reading the fairytale of the fir tree while Alfred is preparing the Christmas tree. Later on in the series we can enjoy the beautiful Christmas tree with decoration. We also have to remember the Christmas bell, the Christmas drop and the Christmas cup and saucer. They all depict an extract of the motif on the Christmas plate.
