Desiree annual cup 1989 The Old House with saucer

Desiree annual cup 1989 with saucer bears the motif from H.C. Andersen's fairy tale The Old House and captures the special, quiet atmosphere for which the story is known. In the classic blue-and-white decoration, the urban setting unfolds beautifully on the porcelain, where the old house stands as a poetic memory of a bygone time amid newer surroundings. This gives the cup a warm, narrative expression, making it more than just a coffee cup or teacup.

This H.C. Andersen cup is part of Desiree's popular series of annual cups, which was introduced in 1982. The series is loved by both collectors and those who like to use their porcelain in everyday life. At DPH - Danish Porcelain House, we have most year models up to 2001, and when Desiree closed, we bought the remaining stock of Desiree annual cups. Therefore, we can also offer a large selection of cups at attractive prices.

The annual cup from 1989 is both decorative and practical. The comfortable size makes it suitable as both a coffee cup, teacup and mug, and it sits well in the hand and is pleasant to drink from. The porcelain is robust, and the cup is dishwasher safe, which makes it ideal for daily use. The accompanying saucer completes the look and makes the set extra elegant on the table.

The blue-white color scale makes this fairy tale cup easy to combine with other porcelain dinnerware, so it fits beautifully into both classic and modern homes. At the same time, it matches beautifully with Desiree's Christmas plates and Mother's Day plates in both colors and design language. As a collector's cup, it is a fine choice for those who are fond of H.C. Andersen porcelain, and as a gift idea it is ideal for anyone who appreciates Danish design, fairy tales and porcelain with history.
