Desiree H.C. Andersen Christmas plate 1977 The Snowman

This Desiree H.C. Andersen Christmas plate from 1977 depicts the beloved fairy tale The Snowman in classic blue-and-white porcelain decoration. The motif shows the upright snowman with a broom in his hand, while the dog jumps up in front of him in the wintry town street. The snow-covered houses, the bare trees and the illuminated window create an atmospheric narrative in which H.C. Andersen's fairy-tale world comes alive on the table or wall.

The Christmas plate is decorated with the year 1977, which stands clearly on the front, and it is precisely the year and motif that make it particularly interesting for collectors of Danish Christmas plates and H.C. Andersen porcelain. The artist Svend Otto S. has with a sure hand created a fine and narrative scene that balances the poetic and the popular in a way that suits both Christmas and winter beautifully.

The plate is manufactured by Porcelænsfabrikken Désirée, a large and well-renowned Danish porcelain factory. It is made in the good, robust quality that characterizes the factory's Christmas plates, and it is therefore not only created as a decorative collector's plate. It can also be used for food and works well as a dinner plate, just as it is dishwasher safe. On the back there are holes for hanging, so it can easily be included as wall decoration in the kitchen, living room or summer house.

All plates in the series have motifs from H.C. Andersen's fairy tales, and The Snowman in particular is a motif that appeals to both collectors and those who are fond of Danish cultural history. It is ideal as a gift for a fairy-tale lover, for the collection of Christmas plates or as an atmospheric part of the Christmas table together with other classic Danish porcelain.

Although this H.C. Andersen plate was manufactured many years ago, it comes from the residual stock from Porcelænsfabrikken Désirée, which we purchased in 2006. Therefore, virtually all our plates from the series are still unused. This makes it a beautiful choice for you who want porcelain with history, quality and lasting charm - and who at the same time appreciate the joy of using older design that is created to last.
