Desiree H.C. Andersen annual cup 1998 The Gardener and the Noble Family

Desiree H.C. Andersen annual cup 1998 is a charming porcelain cup with a motif from the fairy tale The Gardener and the Noble Family. The classic blue-white decoration tells a quiet winter story, where a man loads a Christmas tree onto the cart, while a manor house can be glimpsed in the background. The motif is inspired by H.C. Andersen's special universe, where everyday life, poetry and storytelling merge together in one image.

It is precisely this atmosphere that makes Desiree annual cups so beloved. Here you get not just a coffee cup or teacup, but a genuine fairy tale cup with collector appeal. The design was drawn by Lis Torbøl, and the cup has the same motif as Desiree's Christmas plate from 1998, so the two pieces together form a beautiful set for collectors and for everyone who loves Danish porcelain with history.

The series of Desiree annual cups was introduced in 1982 and continued until 2001. At DPH - Danish Porcelain House we have most of the years from the series, and when Desiree closed, DPH - Danish Porcelain House bought the remaining stock of Desiree annual cups. Therefore, we have a large selection of cups without saucers, which are sold at an attractive price. The cup works perfectly without a saucer and is suitable both as a coffee cup, teacup and mug for daily use.

The comfortable size means that the cup sits well in the hand and is pleasant to drink from. The robust porcelain makes it suitable for everyday use, and it is dishwasher safe, which makes it easy to use again and again. The blue white color scale fits beautifully into many homes and can easily be combined with other porcelain tableware, both in classic and modern interiors.

As a collector's cup, this H.C. Andersen cup is also an obvious choice. It goes beautifully together with Desiree's Christmas plates and Mother's Day plates in both colors and design language. At the same time, it is a nice gift idea for collectors, fairy tale lovers or for you who want a porcelain cup with Danish design tradition and a story that lasts year after year.
