Royal Copenhagen 1901114 Christmas Plate 2014, Hans C Andersen

The 2014 Christmas plate shows two children, Matilde and Alfred, who stop to admire the statue of the famous Danish author H.C. Andersen. The large building in the background is the Copenhagen city hall, erected in 1905. The children are on their way home with a delightful little Christmas tree that Alfred wants to decorate for Christmas, while Matilde reads the wonderful Christmas fairy-tale "The Fir Tree" aloud. This year, the Christmas Plate has again been designed by Sven Vestergaard.
