The designs were created by Danish artist Lin Utzon.

The porcelain, rendered in a contrast of deep blue and white, is adorned with motifs from Andersen's fairy tales such as "The Little Mermaid," "The Ugly Duckling," "Thumbelina," "The Nightingale," and "The Butterfly," creating a classical yet modern ambiance.
