Desiree annual cup 1996 H.C. Andersen The Snowdrop

Desiree annual cup 1996 with motif from H.C. Andersen's fairy tale The Snowdrop is a charming porcelain cup that combines Danish storytelling art with classic blue-white porcelain decoration. The motif exudes the quiet poetry of winter and the first delicate sense of spring, when nature is slowly awakened to life. It is precisely this atmosphere that makes the cup more than just a coffee cup or teacup - it becomes a small narrative collector's item in itself.

The artist Lis Torbøl is behind the decoration, and her fine line gives the fairy tale cup a calm, nostalgic and elegant expression. The blue-white colour scale is classic and timeless, so this H.C. Andersen cup fits beautifully into both traditional and modern homes. At the same time, it harmonises beautifully with Desiree's Christmas plates and Mother's Day plates, both in colours and design language, if you wish to create a cohesive and atmospheric table setting or wall decoration.

Desiree introduced the series of annual cups in 1982, and at DPH - Danish Porcelain House we have most year editions up to 2001. When Desiree closed, DPH - Danish Porcelain House bought the remaining stock of Desiree annual cups, and therefore we have a large selection of cups without saucers, which are sold at an attractive price. This makes it ideal to begin a collection or supplement an existing row of collector cups with exactly the year edition you are missing.

This annual cup works perfectly without a saucer and is suitable both as a mug for coffee and as a teacup for a quiet moment. The comfortable size means that the cup sits well in the hand and is pleasant to drink from. As a robust porcelain cup, it is also dishwasher safe, which makes it easy to use in everyday life. Therefore, it is popular both as a Desiree annual cup for collectors and as a practical H.C. Andersen mug for daily use.

A blue white cup like this is also an obvious gift idea for someone who appreciates Danish design, fairy tales, porcelain and collector's items. It can stand alone as a fine keepsake, be included in a coffee set with different year editions or be combined with other porcelain sets for a personal and lively expression.
