Title: "Watching the Birds" (Japanese title: Tori-tachi no Kansatsu, Kotori o Miru nado) Design: By Sven Vestergaard, depicting a traditional Danish winter scene. Motif: The motif is the Danish custom of feeding wild birds and animals during the cold winter. It expresses a peaceful scene of a girl, along with her close cat, watching birds gathered at a garden feeder through the window from a warm room. Features: Royal Copenhagen's annual plates have been produced every year without fail since 1908, and the mold is destroyed once the year's production is complete, meaning the same plate will never be made again.
