The Little Mermaid 1972 Désirée H.C. Andersen Christmas plate

This H.C. Andersen Christmas plate from 1972 unites fairy tales, Danish cultural history and classic porcelain design in one beautiful motif. On the plate, The Little Mermaid is seen sitting by the water with Copenhagen's skyline in the background, rendered in the characteristic blue shades that give the motif a calm and atmospheric depth. The year 1972 appears clearly on the front and makes the plate easy to identify for both collectors and those seeking precisely this year's motif.

The motif is linked to H.C. Andersen's beloved fairy tale about longing, love and the dream of another world. The melancholy and poetic atmosphere makes this Désirée Christmas plate a fine choice for you who are fond of Danish fairy tale tradition, Christmas plates with a story or porcelain with a clear cultural-historical character. It works beautifully as wall decoration, but also as part of a personal collection of H.C. Andersen plates.

The plate is manufactured 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 is therefore not only decorative. It can also be used for food and works well as a dinner plate in everyday life. At the same time, it is dishwasher safe and has holes on the back for hanging, so you can easily use it both on the table and on the wall.

From 1982 and at least through 2001, a matching cup was produced for the series, so many choose to combine H.C. Andersen plates and cups into a charming set. This plate can naturally also stand beautifully on its own as a nostalgic feature in the home décor or as a gift idea for the collector, the fairy tale lover or the one who appreciates Danish porcelain with history.

Although this Désirée Christmas plate was produced many years ago, it comes from the remaining stock from Porcelænsfabrikken Désirée, which we acquired in 2006. Therefore, virtually all our H.C. Andersen plates from the series are still unused. That makes them an obvious choice for you who want original older porcelain with history, quality and long durability - a sustainable alternative to new production and a beautiful way to bring more soul into the home.
