The border design includes a series of heart-shaped leaves with small alternating snowflakes or asterisks, with a wavy line on the outside edge – all in one color. Some larger pieces of the pattern may be found with a related, circular design in the center.

According to Doug McIntyre in "The Official Guide to Railroad Dining Car China," Denmark, in blue, "was the standard pattern at the Springfield, Missouri, Harvey House for many years."

It was also used by the St. Louis – San Francisco Railway "from the 1930s through the 60s on non-streamlined trains," and was known as Blue Denmark " – "the official railroad designation for this pattern."

It is important to note that other venues in addition to Fred Harvey and his Harvey House restaurants could have ordered this pattern in blue.
