Desiree annual cup 1985 Holger Danske with saucer

Desiree annual cup 1985 with motif from H.C. Andersen's fairy tale Holger Danske is a beautiful porcelain cup that combines Danish storytelling with classic blue-and-white porcelain decoration. The motif shows Kronborg Castle and the ship on the water in front, an atmospheric interpretation of the well-known tale of Holger Danske, who rests deep beneath the castle and watches over Denmark. This gives the cup a special historical and fairy-tale character, which makes it much more than just a coffee cup or tea cup.

It is precisely this combination of fairy tale, cultural history and timeless design that makes a Desiree annual cup so sought after. The series was introduced in 1982 and continued until 2001, and at DPH - Danish Porcelain House we have most of the vintages in the series. The motifs are inspired by H.C. Andersen's universe, and therefore each H.C. Andersen cup is also a little story in itself. The annual cup from 1985 is an obvious choice for collectors, but also for you who want a beautiful H.C. Andersen mug or a fairy-tale cup for daily use.

The cup lies comfortably in the hand, has a pleasant drinking rim and a size that makes it suitable for both coffee and tea. As a robust porcelain cup, it is dishwasher safe and works well in everyday life, while also looking beautiful in the display cabinet. The classic blue-and-white colour scale means that it fits into many homes and can easily be combined with other porcelain dinnerware. At the same time, it matches Desiree's Christmas plates and Mother's Day plates beautifully in both colours and design language.

Desiree annual cups are popular both as collector's cups and as everyday cups. DPH - Danish Porcelain House bought the remaining stock of Desiree annual cups when Desiree closed, and therefore we have a large selection of cups from the series. This edition with saucer is a nice gift idea for the collector, for the history enthusiast or for anyone who is fond of Danish design and porcelain with a story.
