Royal Copenhagen

Royal Copenhagen is a renowned Danish manufacturer of handcrafted porcelain products.

The company was founded in 1775 by Queen Juliane Marie of Denmark.

Royal Copenhagen is still in operation, continuing to produce its renowned bone china and tableware. So I listed some of my collections.

And I will teach you how to determine the date of manufacture.

Old Royal Copenhagen Marks

1870 ~ 1890

1894 ~ 1900

If you come across a piece with "DENMARK" instead of "DANMARK" in the mark, it typically indicates that the piece was produced after 1923.

Before 1923, the English spelling commonly used the term "DANMARK" to refer to Denmark.

There's a myth about the gargoyle faces. It is said that if you put it, on a high place in the kitchen, it will protect the house from demons, which has increased its value.
