Desiree annual cup 1989 The Old House H.C. Andersen cup

Desiree annual cup 1989 with a motif from H.C. Andersen's fairy tale The Old House is an atmospheric porcelain cup that combines Danish storytelling with classic blue-and-white decoration. The motif captures the special poetry of the story about the old house, which stands a little apart among the newer buildings, but contains its very own soul, history and charm. It is an H.C. Andersen cup with a motif that evokes memories, curiosity and the joy of the small details.

The blue-and-white colour scheme gives the cup a timeless and calm expression, which fits beautifully into both classic and modern homes. As a fairy tale cup and collector's cup, this Desiree annual cup has a special appeal, but it works just as well as a coffee cup, teacup or mug in everyday life. The comfortable size means that the cup fits well in the hand and is pleasant to drink from, whether you are enjoying your morning coffee, afternoon tea or serving a hot drink to guests.

Desiree introduced the series of annual cups in 1982, and the motifs through the years are inspired by H.C. Andersen's fairy tales. The series was concluded in 2001, and the cups are today popular among both collectors and those who want decorative art with history. At DPH - Danish Porcelain House we have most year models up to 2001, and when we bought the remaining stock of Desiree annual cups, we also have a large selection of cups without saucer, which are sold at an attractive price.

For that very reason, this porcelain cup is an obvious choice if you want a beautiful Desiree annual cup that works perfectly without a saucer. It is robust, dishwasher-safe and created to be used. At the same time, it matches beautifully with Desiree's Christmas plates and Mother's Day plates, both in colours and design language, and it can easily be combined with other porcelain dinnerware.

This makes this H.C. Andersen mug a fine gift idea for collectors, fairy tale lovers or anyone who appreciates Danish design tradition and cosy coffee moments with story and character.
