In the year 1775, The Royal Copenhagen Porcelain factory was founded. The factory was inaugurated by Queen Juliane Marie. The factory is famous for the exquisitely designed porcelain ware. The three curved lines, which were taken officially as the trade mark of the factory symbolized the Denmark's three straits. The innovative designs of this factory can be seen in many porcelain wares. These patterns include:
Blue Fluted pattern.
A Flora Danica serving bowl
The 1895 Christmas Plate.
The 2004 Christmas Plate.
Usually the Royal Copenhagen Porcelain is given a color of cobalt blue before it was set for glazing. It was supposed to be the only color to survive the high temperatures that was being needed to blend the porcelain mass and the shiny finish. This method was used in making Chinese patterned porcelain. It still now continues to withhold it's conventional‘Blue and white style' in making dinnerware. 'Blue Fluted' Royal Copenhagen is the first dinner style which was produced by the Royal Copenhagen factory. It has now more or less become identical with Danish porcelain. This pattern continues to be designed by hand.
Another most famous design of Royal Copenhagen is the ‘Flora Danica'. This is the most elegant designing pattern still in market. A replica of the copper plates is being made on the porcelain, producing Danish flora. Apart from its exotic patterns of dinner service Royal Copenhagen is renowned for its collectibles and Christmas plates. During the war in the 19 th century, the factory came to its extinction. But with grace of God the factory revived and flourished extensively from 1816 to 1850.
