Sometimes porcelain is classified as second quality without any immediately apparent reason. To the untrained eye, these pieces may appear completely flawless. However, prestigious manufacturers maintain exceptionally strict quality standards, meaning that a piece may be downgraded due to a minute variation in weight, a microscopic air bubble in the glaze, or a structural irregularity that is invisible to the naked eye.
Bio:
Royal Copenhagen was founded in 1775 as the Royal Porcelain Factory under the patronage of Queen Dowager Juliane Marie. The factory is known for high-quality hand-painted porcelain, including Blue Fluted and Flora Danica. The Saxon Flower pattern is inspired by 18th-century Meissen porcelain and features hand-painted flower bouquets and a gilded rim.
