Desiree annual cup 1997 H.C. Andersen The fairy tale of my life

This Desiree annual cup from 1997 unites H.C. Andersen, Danish porcelain and classic blue-white decoration in a motif with both atmosphere and history. On the cup, Amalienborg Palace Square is seen with guards and the equestrian statue of Frederik V - a fine and narrative motif, taken from H.C. Andersen's The fairy tale of my life. This gives the cup a distinctive historical character, where the fairy-tale poet's own experiences meet the poetic imagery that makes the series so beloved.

The artist Lis Torbøl has created the motif with the calm, elegant line that characterizes the Desiree H.C. Andersen series. The blue-white color scale is classic and timeless, and that is precisely why this H.C. Andersen cup fits beautifully into both traditional and modern homes. As an annual cup, coffee cup, teacup or mug, it is both decorative in the display cabinet and lovely to use in everyday life.

Desiree introduced the series of annual cups in 1982, and it continued until 2001. At DPH - Danish Porcelain House we have most years from the series, which today are popular both as collector's items and as porcelain cups for daily use. DPH - Danish Porcelain House bought the remaining stock of Desiree annual cups when Desiree closed, and therefore we have a large selection of cups without saucers, which are sold at an attractive price.

This Desiree annual cup works perfectly without a saucer and is suitable for both coffee and tea. It has a comfortable size, sits well in the hand and is pleasant to drink from. At the same time, it is a robust porcelain cup that is dishwasher safe, which makes it practical in everyday life. If you are looking for a Desiree annual cup, H.C. Andersen mug, fairy-tale cup, blue white cup or a fine collector's cup with a Danish motif, this 1997 cup is an obvious choice.

The cup also goes beautifully with Desiree's Christmas plates and Mother's Day plates, both in colors and design language, and it is easy to combine with other porcelain services. This also makes it an obvious gift idea for collectors, H.C. Andersen enthusiasts or anyone who loves beautiful Danish porcelain.
