Learn More About Royal Copenhagen

Producers of the finest in Danish porcelain, Royal Copenhagen is a company steeped in tradition. This venerable company was founded in 1775 by Danish Queen Juliane Marie and was originally called the Royal Porcelain Factory. 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 factories and the first porcelain production in the country.

Royal Copenhagen first made dinnerware and vases with blue-and-white motifs inspired by Chinese porcelain, which was the rage in aristocratic Europe. Many of these designs, including the beloved "Blue Fluted" pattern are still made today. From the very beginning, Queen Juliane Marie insisted each piece of porcelain be stamped underneath with the Royal Copenhagen logo: a crown above three waves handpainted in cobalt. The crown has changed over time and can be used to date each piece of Royal Copenhagen. The waves represent the three Danish waterways: the Oresund, the Great Belt and the Little Belt.

Apart from its classic patterns, Royal Copenhagen has adapted to the changing styles of time and appeals to many different tastes. Whether used for special occasions or displayed as part of a design collection, Royal Copenhagen pieces represent a legacy of the very highest quality.
