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 Christmas plate from Desiree.
Désirée started the Christmas plate series in 1970 and ended it in 2002. All motifs of the Hans Christian Andersen Christmas plates from Désirée were inspired by Hans Christian Andersen´s Fairy Tales
