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.

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...
