About This Book
The book traces the history and development of the Royal Copenhagen porcelain factory from its eighteenth-century origins through a nineteenth-century overglaze phase to a late nineteenth-century modern renaissance, describing technical processes, decorative styles, and the artists and directors who shaped each era. It examines significant products such as floral and figure services, underglaze blue-and-white wares, crystalline glazes, and art faience, and explains factory marks, painters' signatures, and provenance issues important to collectors. Illustrated plates and tables of marks accompany chapters on periods, successors, and the factory's contemporary output to aid identification and appreciation.
