Once upon a time, in beautiful Copenhagen, there was a ceramics workshop that would revolutionize the art of porcelain making. This workshop later became known as Royal Copenhagen. The story of Royal Copenhagen began in 1775 when the Danish king, Frederik V, decided to set up a ceramics workshop in Copenhagen. The workshop was founded under the name "The Royal Porcelain Factory". The king wanted to create a unique and exclusive production of porcelain goods that could match the quality of the European aristocracy's collection of finest porcelain. Soon, masters of the art were called in from both Germany and the Netherlands to contribute to the workshop's success. Together, these potters created the finest porcelain using their skill, precision and artistic flair. Every single pot, plate and figurine was hand-painted and unique, making Royal Copenhagen porcelain something truly special. Royal Copenhagen's popularity quickly grew and it became known worldwide for its aesthetics and craftsmanship. Royal families, nobles and important people across Europe almost competed to own the exclusive porcelain that bore the famous blue color, also known as "musselmalet". Over the years, Royal Copenhagen has developed and expanded its product line, but there has always been a strong focus on the finest craftsmanship. Despite industrial advances, the pottery masters have maintained the tradition of painting each piece of porcelain by hand, ensuring that each vase, bowl or cup is a unique work of art. Today, Royal Copenhagen remains a remarkable part of Danish cultural heritage. The beautiful blue and white porcelain wares have become a symbol of Danish design and quality and can be found in homes all over the world. Royal Copenhagen still strives to preserve the proud tradition of craftsmanship and beauty that made the workshop famous so many years ago. The story of Royal Copenhagen is a story of dedication to craftsmanship, love of beauty and an age-old tradition that lives on in our modern world. It is the story of a small ceramics workshop that grew to become an iconic brand and a symbol of Danish culture.
