Royal Copenhagen, once the porcelain supplier to the Queen of Denmark, is known throughout the world for their quality craftsmanship and creative artistry. Founded in 1775, the first pieces ever produced were complex dining services for the Danish Royal Family. In 1790, Royal Copenhagen unveiled their Flora Danica pattern, now considered one of the most important and celebrated porcelain motifs ever created.
