Desiree H.C. Andersen Christmas plate 1993 What Father Does

This Desiree H.C. Andersen Christmas plate from 1993 bears a motif from the fairy tale What Father Does Is Always Right. In the classic blue-and-white porcelain, one encounters a quiet winter scene with a thatched house, a bare tree, a wagon and small fine details that lead the thoughts directly into H.C. Andersen's narrative universe. The year 1993 stands clearly on the plate and makes it easy to identify for both collectors and those seeking a specific annual plate.

The motif was created by Svend Otto S., who with his confident line manages to capture both the calm of the fairy tale, the rural atmosphere and the special Nordic winter poetry. It is precisely the combination of H.C. Andersen, Svend Otto S. and the characteristic blue porcelain that has made these plates beloved through many years. The plate fits beautifully into a collection of Danish Christmas plates, but it can also easily stand alone as an atmospheric decoration in the home.

The porcelain factory Désirée was a large and well-recognized Danish porcelain factory, and this Christmas plate is manufactured in the good, robust quality that characterizes the factory. It is therefore not only a decorative collector's plate, but can also be used for food and works well as a plate in everyday life. At the same time, it has holes on the back for hanging, so it can be used both on the table and as wall decoration. It is also dishwasher safe, which makes it practical in daily use.

Although the plate was produced many years ago, it comes from the remaining stock from Porcelænsfabrikken Désirée, which we purchased in 2006. Therefore, virtually all our H.C. Andersen plates from the series are still unused. That makes it extra interesting for you who want older Danish porcelain with history, soul and high utility value.

This 1993 Christmas plate is also ideal as a gift for an H.C. Andersen enthusiast, a collector of Danish plates or for you who would like to bring classic Danish design and fairy-tale atmosphere into the home decor. From 1982 and until at least 2001, a matching cup was produced, so the plate can furthermore be combined with a cup from the same year, if you want a harmonious set.
