Simply Beautiful New Glass Vases From Rosendahl
Rosendahl is launching three new vases in their popular Filigran range designed by Lin Utzon, which are unlike anything she has ever created before.
Her hallmark has always been flowers and garlands intertwined in discreet or milky-white sand-blasted patterns.
Â
However, these new hand-blown Filigran vases, have nothing “filigree†about them, as they have no pattern whatsoever and portray only simplicity itself, with elegant form and colour.
Lin Utzon’s latest artistry in glassware is in the darkest, deepest black, the most elegant imaginable ivory and the most exquisite shade of white; three classic illustrations of the assertion that “you’ll never believe how beautiful colours can be until you have seen them with your own eyesâ€.

Royal Copenhagen’s Christmas Plate 2006
The Original Christmas blue plates first appeared at the Nordic Exhibition in 1888, when Royal Copenhagen exhibited a series of blue plates, with the intention of providing an advertisement for the factory.
Crown Princess Louise was so enchanted by them that she immediately bought a plate, and the news of the royal purchase spread like wildfire, so people were soon queuing up to order plates.
Â
The technique used in manufacturing these plates is very different from other porcelain painting, as the motif on the plate appears in relief; This decorative technique is still recognised today as a typical mark of Royal Danish porcelain.
The beautiful 2006 Christmas plate motive illustrates Christmas at Kronborg castle north of Copenhagen; designed by artist Sven Vestergaard it features five swans in flight over the sea that surrounds Kronborg.

The Polar Fox and Her Cubs from Royal Copenhagen
Royal Copenhagen has added four charming new figurines to the Motherly Love series: the polar fox and her cubs.
New mothers and animal lovers everywhere, would be delighted to receive one of these beautiful new ornaments as a gift.
Â
Danish artist Allan Therkelsen created the Motherly Love series in 2002, taking his inspiration from animals of the cold regions of Northern Scandinavia.
Allan says, ‘I have used porcelain as the best material to express the animals’ concern for each other, their playfulness and the slightly wispy look they sometimes have.’
Â
These animals live in conditions that test their survival instincts to the full. A cub or pup on its own is easy prey, so the mother’s protection is all-important in its early life.
