Desiree annual cup 1993 with saucer H.C. Andersen

This Desiree annual cup from 1993 with saucer combines fairy-tale atmosphere, Danish porcelain and classic blue-white decoration in one beautiful set. The motif is taken from H.C. Andersen's fairy tale What the old man does is always right, and the scene exudes rural calm, winter light and the special narrative poetry that makes H.C. Andersen loved generation after generation. It is a cup that invites a quiet moment with coffee or tea - and at the same time brings joy to anyone who appreciates Danish cultural heritage and porcelain with a history.

The illustration is created by Svend Otto S., who with his confident line has captured the atmospheric scene with the little farmhouse and the fine details that bring the motif to life. The deep cobalt blue colour and the white porcelain give the cup and saucer a classic look that fits beautifully into both traditional and modern homes. As an H.C. Andersen cup, fairy-tale cup and collector's cup, this annual cup has a very special charm that makes it easy to fall in love with.

Desiree introduced the series of annual cups in 1982, and it continued until 2001. At DPH - Danish Porcelain House, we have most of the year editions in the series, and when Desiree closed, we bought the remaining stock of Desiree annual cups. Therefore, we also have a large selection of cups without saucers at an attractive price. However, this edition comes with a saucer and appears as a fine and well-composed set, which also matches beautifully with Desiree's Christmas plates and Mother's Day plates in both colours and design language.

As both an annual cup, coffee cup, tea cup and mug, it is created to be used. The comfortable size means that the cup sits well in the hand and is pleasant to drink from, and the sturdy porcelain is dishwasher safe. It works perfectly for everyday coffee or tea, but is also an obvious gift idea for collectors, H.C. Andersen enthusiasts or anyone who appreciates blue white cup design with Danish storytelling tradition.
