Description

This year’s plate is “The Little Mermaid” designed by Sven Vestergaard.  In all her beauty and wistfulness, she bids travelers welcome from her adobe at the Copenhagen waterfront – the Langelinie.  This year she celebrates her centenary.  She has risen from adventure origins, namely from her namesake: The famous and beloved H. C. Andersen’s fairy-tale.  She was created by the sculptor Edvard Eriksen and has been displayed since 1913.
