Royal Copenhagen Folk Art
Danish
Producers of the finest in Danish porcelain, Royal Copenhagen is a company steeped in tradition. Its celebrated blue-and-white china patterns as well as its famed hallmark depicting the royal crown and three waves — symbolizing the monarch who founded the company and the three major waterways of Denmark — are emblems of master craftsmanship.
Royal Copenhagen was founded in 1775 by Queen Juliane Marie. Years earlier, after the death of her husband, King Frederick V, Juliane’s stepson ascended the throne. Shortly into his reign, he went insane, and the Queen became the head of Denmark and its small empire. She sought to improve Denmark’s economy and founded factories around the country to promote domestic growth and international trade. Royal Copenhagen was one of the first of these. Royal Copenhagen first made dinnerware and vases with blue-and-white motifs inspired by Chinese porcelain, then the rage in aristocratic Europe. Many of these designs are still made today.
Apart from its classic patterns, Royal Copenhagen has adapted to the changing styles of time and appeals to many different tastes. Their prolific body of work includes Rococo-style porcelain statues that incorporate stylistic floral patterns in an Art Nouveau style, as well as modern vases by such noted 20th century Danish ceramists as Axel Salto. Whether used for special occasions or displayed as part of a design collection, Royal Copenhagen pieces represent a legacy of the highest quality.

Laura Andreson Signed Monumental Glazed Mid-Century Modern Ceramic Pottery Bowl
By Laura Andreson
Located in Studio City, CA
A wonderfully crafted and beautifully glazed (in Fall greens and browns) large bowl/vase by renowned American potter Laura Andreson. Gorgeous in its Mid-Century Modern design and shifting colors. Signed on the base by Andreson. A quite special and rare work. Certainly, one of the best pieces of Andreson's work we have had the pleasure to come across. Highly collectible. Would be a great addition to any midcentury ceramics collection or a very eye-catching stand-alone work in about any setting. Andreson, who studied under Glen Lukens, founded and headed the ceramics department at UCLA from 1933-1970. Her work can be found in many collections and museums worldwide including: Metropolitan Museum of Art The Museum of Modern Art Museum of Fine Arts, Boston Smithsonian Museum of American Art The Los Angeles County Museum of Art The Walker Art Center The Nora Eccles Harrison Museum of Art.

Questions About Royal Copenhagen Folk Art
- 1stDibs ExpertNovember 4, 2024To identify a Royal Copenhagen pattern, first examine the backstamp on your piece. The official Royal Copenhagen website has a reference guide that you can use to determine the year of your piece's production based on this stamp. From there, you can search the pattern resource on the official website for that year and find out the name of your Royal Copenhagen pattern. Find a collection of Royal Copenhagen china on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022Yes, Royal Copenhagen is still in business but the company has undergone many buy-outs and acquisitions over the years. Originally founded in Copenhagen in 1775, the company imitated the exquisite china from the Ming and Qing dynasties. Royal patronage and top-quality craftsmanship quickly earned the brand a reputation, making its products quite collectible. On 1stDibs, find a collection of authentic Royal Copenhagen plates and other pieces from some of the world’s top sellers.
- 1stDibs ExpertAugust 20, 2024To tell Royal Copenhagen seconds, locate the maker's mark. You'll usually find it on the bottom of pieces. If you see a fine vertical line cut into the three lines of the maker's arched logo, your piece is likely a second, meaning that it didn't meet Royal Copenhagen's quality standards at the time of production. Because the line can be very faint, it may be helpful to use a magnifying glass when examining your piece. Shop a large collection of Royal Copenhagen porcelain wares on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022Yes, Royal Copenhagen still produces some figurines. However, most of the manufacturer's most well-known lines are no longer in production. As of January 2022, only the annual figurines are still currently in production. Today, Royal Copenhagen is a brand owned by Fiskars Group rather than an independent company. You'll find a collection of Royal Copenhagen figurines on 1stDibs.
