My Colleague has bought a Toilet Water Pump for His Mother...

He is very proud of the beautiful wrapping, but imagine the mood at my college's home on Christmas Eve, when his mother unwraps her gift!!!

If you also only think of kitchen appliances, tools, toilet water pumps or other practical stuff, when buying Christmas gifts, maybe you should consider that Christmas should focus on wellbeing more than on what is practical. Many of us love something soft, nice to look at, nicely scented or tasty.
  
I cannot help you with the scents of softness, but I do have many great ideas for beautiful things that might cause more joy than a toilet water pump. (I hope my colleges mother does not subscripe to our newsletter)

Oriental figurines are very popular


Oriental art is getting more and more common in Danish interior design. It happens as more and more Danes are visiting the east. From here inspiration is brought home in the shape of oriental interior design, oriental art and oriental figurines. We found the figurines that you find in this category on business trips in the east.

Quality when it is best...


The Asmussen candlesticks with drops are well-known in Denmark. - They were sold in large numbers during the 70's and 80's. - Now they are very popular again, but unfortunately the traditional drop candlesticks are almost sold out.
 
What many do not know is that Asmussen also produced a number of other beautiful quality candlesticks etc. like the one's that you see in the picture below.

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...

News for the nerds...!

It is no less than fantastic artwork! When you read this newsletter you will certainly have a different view of the  normal  plates. You must admit that it is impressive that the Danish porcelain factory Bing & Grondahl all the way back in 1895 was able to make such works of art..., especially when you know what you know, when you have read this newsletter!   Well, you are curious to know more about how Christmas plates are actually made, so now we will have a brief run through. We have a more detailed description on our homepage about  how you make Christmas plates .  The process to make a Christmas plate is rather long. It all begins with the artist, who draw the motif after the measurements of the Christmas plate. Then the modeller engraves the motif into a plaster form like shown in the picture above. This plaster form is the base form for the production of work forms that are used to imprint the motif into the newly formed Christmas pl...
