The Product
The hand-painted Blue Fluted Full Lace pattern was first produced in 1775, at the very beginning of Royal Copenhagen’s career. Over the next 100 years it remained in production, but only as a dessert plate. When art director and ceramicist Arnold Krog arrived at the company in 1885, he recognized that this pattern was far too appealing to employ only at the final course. With some modifications, Krog made it a full service, and it has been in production ever since. The lace refers not only to the painted pattern, but also to the scalloped edges and delicate perforations that provide this service with added personality. Dishwasher and microwave safe.

The Manufacturer & Designer
Royal Copenhagen began porcelain production in 1775, four years before the royal family assumed control. The company produced porcelain typical of the region until 1882, when ownership left royal hands and Arnold Krog was hired as art director. It was under the direction of Krog that the Royal Copenhagen name truly made its mark.

In addition to revolutionizing the underglazing techniques that allowed the company to increase quality and production, Krog also brought a regionalism to their designs by introducing motifs inspired by the Danish landscape. Krog also encouraged designers to look outside of Denmark for inspiration, resulting in a Japanese influence seen in some of their wares.

Today, many of the Royal Copenhagen production techniques are still low-tech, relying on trained craftsmen to form, assemble and paint their porcelain pieces. Royal Copenhagen continues to produce traditional designs that appeal to contemporary audiences, as well as employ young designers to add to their eclectic catalog.
