It Is Time for a Christmas Dram!

Christmas is fast approaching again and in keeping with tradition Holmegaard is issuing their Christmas articles that I would like to show you here.

A small dram goes well with the Christmas bottle and below I would like to give you a recipe that I am quite fond of.

Ingredients:
1 bottle of vodka
40 cloves
40 coffee beans
40 sugar cubes
1 orange (unsprayed)

Procedure:
Wash the oranges and punch holes in them. Then insert the cloves into the orange.
Then put the coffee beans, sugar cubes and clove orange into a tall glass with a tight fitting lid.
Pour in the vodka and close the lid.
Let it set for 40 days.

Then you will have a simple and good dram to fill up you Holmegaard Christmas bottle!

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...

The Porcelain Factory Désirée - Svend Jensen - Old Copenhagen Blue

The porcelain factory Désirée , also called Old Copenhagen Blue and Svend Jensen abroad, was once among the best porcelain manufacturers in Denmark.

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 .
