3 Good Reasons to Decorate with Plates!

So why should you decorate with plates rather than with regular paintings? This is something that I have thought about as I have both paintings and plates in my home. They both serve well as wall decoration, but they also have different uses in the wall decor. After thinking about it for a while I now have 3 good reasons to decorate with plates for you.

 Reason 1 - Plates are easy to fit into a spot

Do you know the feeling of having a blank spot on a wall, where you miss something, but can't quite fill it out? It is often small and nothing really fits there, but it feels empty when you look at it. With a plate you can fill the spot and no matter how small the spot is, there will be a plate or plaquette that can fill it out and give some life to the spot.

 Reason 2 - Plates Are Easy to Group

Plates are easy to find in matching colours and are therefore easy to group together. They do not necessarily have the same theme in the group, but it is certainly possible to have a group of plates with the same theme set in a decorative group. By grouping the plates you also make them more forceful in the room and they can fill out larger areas, when grouped together.

Here you can find old blue plates!

Reason 3 - Plates Can Make Patterns

You can hang plates in patterns only limited by your imagination. You can set them in linear, wavy or circular patterns making beautiful shapes on your walls with the plates. This way you can increase the possiblities for wall decorations to a very large extend and at the same time making your decor quite unique.

In short these three reasons should show the many possibilities you have for decorating in new and interesting ways with your plates. I hope you have been inspired by these ideas to further decorate your home with plates.

Learn to spot the difference between 1st and 2nd quality

I am often asked about the difference between 1st and 2nd quality of Royal Copenhagen and Bing & Grondahl. This has prompted me to write a bit about it. Basically it is about an evaluation of the porcelain made in the factory after production. The finished porcelain was lookes over to see if they live up to the quality demands of the factory. Those that were deemed 2nd quality, where then sold at a lower price than 1st quality. Today only dinner service is sold as 2nd quality in factory sales, but the improved technique for burning the porcelain means that all the yearly cllector's items are sold as 1st quality now. In the past a large part of the production could be of a quality that did not meet the quality demand, which made it necessary to sell it as 2nd quality. However one must remember that the evaluation was made by people, so the evaluation of the porcelain could vary a lot, meaning that there was great difference in when figurines and plates were ju...

Royal Copenhagen Easter Eggs 2019

Today I have the pleasure to present to you this year's Easter eggs from Royal Copenhagen. This popular series continues unabated.    The design of the Easter eggs have been radically changed! We still have the 6 small Easter eggs in single boxes and double boxes, but where the entire flower was formerly shown on the Easter egg, it is now large petals in closeup. This gives a strong and very different expression.   We still have a large Easter egg with tulip petals, but the lying and standing bonbonniere have been replaced by a single bonbonniere with honeysuckle and a new addition in the shape of a small vase with Geranium.   It is thus an exciting new series of Easter eggs that we have here from Royal Copenhagen.   In Stock for Immediate Delivery: We already have the new Easter eggs in stock.  It is my experience that Royal Copenhagen Easter eggs are sold out from the factory quickly, so we sell them as long as they are in ...
