Royal Copenhagen Porcelain Manufactory was founded on 1 May 1775 under the patronage of Queen Juliane Marie, more than one hundred years of persistent efforts had gone into eliciting the secret of porcelain making from the Chinese.
Copenhagen’s 100 year old amusement park, Tivoli Gardens, comes alive with a Christmas village, Christmas elves, a traditional market. The truly curious can watch a performance of the “Hip Hop Nutcracker” in the Tivoli Concert Hall. If you are traveling with kids, treat them to a pony ride around the park or a ride on a carousel.
For more than 200 years Blue Fluted has been the Royal Copenhagen Porcelain Manufactory's most popular service. The first dinner service pattern to be selected was Blue Fluted. This was a popular pattern in Europe's first porcelain manufactories. Since the taut stylised floral motive originated in China, it was considered the epitome of genuine porcelain. At Royal Copenhagen we continue to paint the pattern by hand, even today. Therefore, Blue Fluted would gradually become synonymous with Danish porcelain.
A spontaneous freshness which has been the mark of the Royal Copenhagen porcelain pattern Blue Flower since the late 1700's. A bouquet, kept fresh for more than 200 years. In 1779 another blue dinner service, still in production today, followed Blue Flower. As opposed to Blue Fluted, this pattern reflected the contemporary European style of naturalistic flowers.
