Desiree H.C. Andersen Christmas plate 1984 The Nightingale

Desiree H.C. Andersen Christmas plate 1984 with motif from The Nightingale combines Danish porcelain, fairy tale storytelling and classic blue decoration in the most beautiful way. The year plate shows the atmospheric scene with the nightingale in the hanging branches over the water, a fisherman in his boat and the distant landscape with oriental-inspired buildings. At the bottom of the plate stands the year 1984, which makes it easy to identify for both collectors and those seeking a special Christmas plate with history.

The motif is created by Svend Otto S., whose confident line gives H.C. Andersen's fairy tale a calm and poetic expression. The Nightingale in particular is a story about what is genuine and sincere, and this is felt in the quiet mood of the image, where the bird's song can almost be sensed over the gleaming water. This makes this H.C. Andersen plate more than a year plate - it is also a small piece of narrated cultural history in porcelain.

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 Désirée, and it can therefore be used for more than decoration. Many use these plates as dinner plates or serving plates, and it is dishwasher safe. At the same time, it has holes on the back for hanging, so it is also perfectly suited as wall decoration in a kitchen, dining room or collection.

From 1982 onwards, a matching cup was made for the series, and the plate can therefore be an obvious choice to combine with other parts from the H.C. Andersen series, if you want a complete expression. As a gift idea, it is suitable for collectors, fairy tale lovers or for a recipient with a special connection to the year 1984.

Although this 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 it a fine choice for you who want original Danish porcelain with history, quality and long service life - and who at the same time appreciates the joy of preserving beautiful craftsmanship.
