The old Dutch mill in the Hans Christian Andersen fairytale “The Windmill” was at the top of a hill. With this fairytale as his inspiration the artist Svend Otto S., designed the 1991 Desiree Annual cup. 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.
