Overview & History
Established under royal patronage in Copenhagen in 1775, Royal Copenhagen is renowned for finely painted porcelain, including the Blue Fluted and Half Lace services and the extraordinary Flora Danica, one of the most elaborate dinner services ever made. The factory also produced celebrated figurines and animal models. Value depends on the pattern, age, painter quality, and rarity - Flora Danica and early hand-painted pieces are exceptional, while standard dinnerware and figurines are more accessible.
Identifying & Marks
Look for the blue three-wavy-lines mark (symbolizing Denmark's waterways) beneath a crown, with pattern and form numbers; the mark style and painters' marks help date pieces.
