Royal Copenhagen China Figurines & Collectors Plates

Royal Copenhagen Porcelain was founded in 1775 by Frantz Heinrich Müller, a chemist who had spent a great many years of experimenting to find a means of manufacturing high quality porcelain. As a trademark for his company he adopted a symbol of 3 wavy lines. This 3 line mark signified the three straits of Denmark: Store Baelt, Lille Baelt and Oresund. Like Meissen china, early pieces were painted cobalt blue before undergoing the glazing process. The reason for this color choice was that at the time cobalt blue was the only color which could withstand the high temperatures needed to fuse the porcelain and glaze together to create true china. Later when ways to utilize other colors were discovered, Royal Copenhagen still continued to produce china with its distinctive blue and white design. As a testament to their proud history and old-world techniques Royal Copenhagen items are still, to this very day, handpainted in the same manner that they were over 2 centuries ago.

Royal Copenhagen is not just famous among porcelain collectors for their fine china dinnerware. They are also well known for their beautiful porcelain figurines and Christmas plates.
