Do you sometimes feel cheated?

Do you know the feeling, when buying online? You get the parcel and it is no larger than a matchbox and you hear yourself saying... "This is not the parcel, it must be larger!"
 
One of the common mistakes, when buying online.

"We simply do not read the entire description of the item, including size, quality etc., when buying online."  
 
I would definitely be disappointed, if I expected to get a parcel with the large dachshund and got the small one!  
 
Small and larger dachshund

TIPS:
 
Always take the time to read all the information on the website that you wish to buy from and if in doubt, contact the company before buying.
  
In case of the dachshund figurines you could make a mistake, if you only saw the pictures:
Large dachshund from Royal Copenhagen
Small dachshund from Dahl Jensen

Here you get your money's worth

If you are interested in old items, it is not the production costs that set the price, but supply and demand. - This means that you get your money's worth, if you do not go for the rare collectibles.
 
Below I show you some examples of figurines, where you will not feel cheated, when you receive the parcel!

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 ...

Royal Copenhagen Easter Eggs Have Become Valuable!

Royal Copenhagen's Easter eggs have become very popular. Today it is almost impossible for us to get the older years. Collectors have been very interested in these wonderful porcelain Easter eggs.   Even though we pay good prices for these Easter eggs, we can only get our hands on very few. We have, for example, quite a number of people written up for some of the first ones that came out (snowdrop and winter aconite), but even though we demand more than 3 times what they cost when they were first released, we cannot get the ones that we can sell at all. (So, if you have some of the old Easter eggs that you consider selling, send us an email and we will return with an offer for you)   The new Easter eggs from 2018 - Ready for delivery! This year's Easter eggs are fortunately not sold out yet! Below are the different Easter eggs from Royal Copenhagen. There are both the small 6 cm and large 10 cm Easter egg orname...
