Are you a fan of blue, too?

The old dinner services from Royal Copenhagen and Bing & Grondahl are increasingly popular in Denmark. Especially the dinnerware that can be put in the dish washer and the microwave as these are wellsuited for the busy everyday life.
 
Below I will show you some of the old dinnerware that have become popular again. Furthermore I am going to show you a very special historic coffee service at the end.

Bing & Grondahl Christmas Rose Service


Bing & Grøndahls Christmas Rose Service

Bing & Grondahl Christmas Rose is one of the less wellknown blue painted services. Christmas rose is wellsuited for everyday use as it can be put in the dishwasher and the microwave oven. The Christmas rose service is no longer in production, so it is only the original Danish produced parts that are still available.
 
The Christmas rose service was designed by Cecilie Louise Hallin in colaboration with her husband Frederik August Hallin, who also designed the first Christmas plate from Bing & Grondahl. The Christmas rose service is thus produced using the same technique as the famous Christmas plates. The Christmas rose service is thus wellsuited in combination with the Christmas plates for setting a lively table.
  
We have many part for the service in stock from the small 15 cm cake plate at only EUR 5.42 across the 21 cm flat plate at EUR 14.91 to the large 24 cm dinner plate at EUR 21.96.

Design Your Own Cake Stand for Your Dinnerware!


Design your own cake stand

If you want your own unique cake stand for your dinnerware, you only need to choose the plates and order the drilling and the fittings, then you will have your very own cake stand for your coffee and dinner service. You can combine the plates according to your taste to make the cake stand unique to you.

Royal Copenhagen Blue Fluted


Royal Copenhagen blue fluted service

Royal Copenhagen's blue fluted service is one of the oldest services from Royal Copenhagen and it is still a very popular service. It is still in production and is the flagship of Royal Copenhagen. It is a dinner and coffee service that can be put in both the dish washer and the microwave oven making it wellsuited for the modern home.
 
The blue fluted service that we know today was designed by Arnold Krog, who redesigned and revitalised Royal Copenhagen and thereby lifted Danish porcelain into a new golden age.

Royal Copenhagen Blue Flower

Blue Flower is another classic service from Royal Copenhagen. Contrary to the Blue Fluted service Blue Flower is no longer in production meaning that the parts are only available second hand. This service, too, has the practical advantage that it is not goldpainted and thus can be used in both the dishwasher and the microwave oven.
  
Just like the Blue Fluted service Blue Flower as it is known today is a product of Arnold Krog'swork at Royal Copenhagen.

Royal Copenhagen Christmas Service

The Royal Copenhagen Christmas service is the coffee service that fits the Christmas plates. With this the old plates can have a whole new life by coming of the walls and onto the tables!

Royal Copenhagen Colonial Service


Royal Copenhagen Colonial Service

As something truly unique we have a single set of the Colonial Service produced by Royal Copenhagen in 1976 to celebrate the bicentennary of the declaration of independence of the United States of America. The service was only produced in 300 specimen and the original was gifted to President Ford by her Majesty Queen Margrethe. The service is kept in a mahogony chest on legs that is sent with the service.

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...

Beautiful 2017 Easter eggs from Royal Copenhagen

The time has arrived, when Royal Copenhagen again issues its popular series of porcelain Easter eggs. The older years of the Easter eggs are hard to find and increase markedly in price as a collector's market has been established. Thus I recommend that you buy now, as the Easter eggs from last year, where sold out very quickly. Like in prior years the motifs are beautiful and delightful flowers, butterflies and birds. The style of the motifs are kept in the clear and pure style that brings the thoughts back to botanical and zoological encyclopedias. See all Royal Copenhagen Easter eggs 2017 here! Royal Copenhagen Easter eggs work well set alongside the flowers of spring. On the pictures above you see a setup together with the  Bing & Grondahl Easter plates  that with right in with their spring motifs. The shown plate is  Easter 1917 .
