Desiree H.C. Andersen Christmas plate 1976 The Snow Queen

The Snow Queen from 1976 is an atmospheric H.C. Andersen Christmas plate from Desiree, where the fairy-tale cold and movement of winter are captured in the classic blue-and-white porcelain. The motif shows the majestic Snow Queen gliding over the town, while the small sleigh movement below leads the mind directly to the dramatic moment in the fairy tale when Kay is carried away through snow and frost. The year 1976 stands clearly on the plate and makes it easy to identify for collectors of H.C. Andersen plates and Danish Christmas plates.

The plate is designed by Mads Stage, whose confident line gives the motif both lightness and narrative. The blue decoration creates a beautiful winter atmosphere, where the village, the snowflakes and the fairy-tale figure together form a fine and vivid composition. It is precisely this combination of Danish fairy-tale tradition, graphic calm and narrative detail that makes Desiree Christmas plates so sought after.

This Christmas plate is made by Porcelænsfabrikken Désirée, which was a large and well-regarded Danish porcelain factory. The plates were made in a good and robust quality, and they are not only created as collector's plates. They can also be used for food, function well as dinner plates in everyday life, are dishwasher safe and have holes on the back for hanging. Therefore, it is a versatile H.C. Andersen plate, which can both decorate the wall and be used on the table when you want to set with porcelain that has history and personality.

Although this Desiree Christmas plate was produced many years ago, it comes from the remaining stock from Porcelænsfabrikken Désirée, which we purchased in 2006. Therefore, virtually all our plates from the series are still unused. This makes them particularly attractive for both collectors and for you who want older Danish porcelain with original character and at the same time choose a beautiful quality product that deserves to be used and preserved.

The Snow Queen 1976 is also an obvious gift idea for collectors of fairy-tale plates, for fans of H.C. Andersen or for you who love classic Danish porcelain with motif, year and story. It can stand alone as wall decoration or be combined with other plates in the series for a personal collection with fairy-tale coherence.
