Desiree H.C. Andersen annual cup 2000 The Hermitage with saucer

Desiree H.C. Andersen annual cup 2000 with the motif The Hermitage is an atmospheric porcelain cup that combines Danish cultural history, winter idyll, and classic blue-white elegance. On the cup, the iconic Hermitage Palace is seen in a calm landscape with deer, which gives the motif an almost fairy-tale-like tranquility and a fine connection to H.C. Andersen's universe. The year 2000 differs from the earlier cups in the series because the motif is not based on a specific H.C. Andersen fairy tale, but is instead inspired by The Hermitage and the surroundings that the author knew and cherished.

H.C. Andersen often spent time with the Melchior family at Rolighed, and from here he mentioned, among other things, Dyrehaven and the Hermitage Palace. This makes this H.C. Andersen cup something special for collectors who appreciate the more historical and personal traces in the series. The motif is designed by Lis Torbøl, who here has created a beautiful annual cup with the same motif as Desiree's Christmas plate from 2000, so that cup and plate together form a harmonious set.

Desiree annual cups were introduced in 1982, and the series runs until 2001. At DPH - Danish Porcelain House we have most of the year editions up to 2001, and since we bought the remaining stock of Desiree annual cups when Desiree closed, we can offer a large selection at attractive prices. Desiree annual cups are popular both as collectors' items and as cups for everyday use, and this very porcelain cup is ideal as both a coffee cup, tea cup, mug, or fairy-tale cup in a personal collection.

The cup has a comfortable size, fits well in the hand, and is pleasant to drink from. The robust porcelain makes it suitable for daily use, and it is dishwasher safe. The classic blue-white color scheme fits beautifully into many homes and can easily be combined with other porcelain sets. At the same time, it matches beautifully with Desiree's Christmas plates and Mother's Day plates in both colors and design language. With saucer, you get a complete and elegant set, which is also an ideal gift idea for collectors of Desiree annual cup, H.C. Andersen mugs, and classic Danish porcelain.
