At DPH You'll Find True Love...

If you are asked to envoke the feeling of true love, what do you think of?
 
Well, what will it be? - Was it the sight of the new sofa? The shiny new motorbike? Hopefully not... - To me true love is a feeling of joy and thankfulness. It makes the world change colour, everything smiles and shines around you. - I most easily envoke the feeling by thinking of the morning, when my husband and I sat with our newborn daughter in our arms... It was a feeling of great thankfulness and joy. It was without comparison the greatest feeling that I have had until that day.
 
When the great artists of the past were asked to draw motifs for mother's day plates, it is clear that the feeling of pure motherly love has inspired many fantastic motifs. - The love shines through many of these plate. Let me show you some examples here.
Pure love - Heidelberg mother's day plates
The loving motifs combined with the fact that they can both be used for decoration and to serve a meal filled with love has led to many having started to buy mother's day plates not just for mother's day, but all year round. - On the picture we see Royal Heidelberg mother's day plates.

Bing & Grondahl mother's day plates
When we look at animals and animal children, it is hard not to be affected... and feel the love. - Bing & Grondahl were the first in Denmark to issue a mother's day plate. - It was issued in 1969 and the motif was a Cocker Spaniel with its cute happy puppys. - A fantastic motif and it was a huge success. - Within a year the price rose from DKK 18 (As far as I know) to DKK 3000. - It was this plate that sparked the plate rush in Denmark.
 
The series of mother's day plates with motifs of animal mothers and their children were a huge hit and in the 70's huge numbers were produced each year. - These can be bought cheaply today, but if you are looking for a recent year, you will find that many are sold out or rather expensive. The motif from 2019 is a hippo with its calf and costs DKK 499.

It brings great joy 
To see children happy, in love, believe in the world, ponder the miracle of life. - That brings joy.
 
Exactly this feeling of joy transmited from the happy child to the parents, has inspired the many loving and cheerful motifs on the many mother's day plates.
 
If you consider making a plate collage or exchange the boring plates for something more unique, then go hunting among the many wonderful motifs. - See the entire selection of joyous mother's day motifs!

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. The Désirée name has been used in different contexts over the years and was perhaps best known by the labels of the tableware series they produced. Popular dinnerware by Désirée The logo of Désirée Denmark Svend Jensen Old Copenhagen Blue Amongst the dinnerware which was produced by Désirée was Selandia . Selandia was the first dinnerware the porcelain factory Désirée made​​. Later, when it became popular to make stoneware and more robust dinnerware, came the series Thule , Diskos , Vesterhav and Jutlandia to be included in the range. Since the porcelain factory became more successful in the 1970s, 80s and 90s several popular dinnerware such as Polar , Mistletoe , Springtime and Scandinavia were introduced. All decorated and hand painted using the underglaze technique. Brief history behind Désirée The porcelain factory ...

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 .
