1986 Desiree Svend Jensen Hans Christian Andersen Christmas Cup With Saucer

The motif of this 1986 Desirée annual cup from The Porcelain Factory Desiree, also known as Désirée Denmark, Svend Jensen of Denmark, Old Copenhagen Blue is found in the Hans Christian Andersen fairytale The Bell. The 1986 Hans Christian Andersen Annual Cup had the same motif as the 1986 Svend Jensen Christmas plate. So the 1986 Desiree Annual Cup and the 1986 Desiree Christmas plate are actaully a beautiful coffee set with plate and cup. In the city in Hans Christian Andersen’s fairytale “The Bell” it sounds like a church bell is ringing deep inside the quiet fragrant forest. But no one has been so deep in the forest that they have been able to find the bell with the heavenly tones. Probably only the animals in the forest know where the bell is. Svend Otto S. has created this Annual cup from Desiree. Désirée started the Annual cup series in 1982 and ended it in 2001. So 20 different sets were made to complete a perfect coffee set. All motifs of the Hans Christian Andersen annual cups from Désirée are inspired by Hans Christian Andersen´s Fairy Tales.
