Hand-painted vases have played a prominent role in Royal Copenhagen’s product range ever since it was founded in 1775.
It took over a century to refine the technique that brought Royal Copenhagen the Grand Prix at the World Fair in Paris in 1900 and generated the international demand for Royal Danish vase art that continues to this day.

Herend’s Enchanting New Kimono Service
The new Kimono service from Herend is a fine example of Japanese minimalism and symbolises the relationship between the distant island nation and European art.
Â
The service includes six kimono-clad figures, women combing their hair or holding a parasol, samurais and couples; the asymmetrically positioned human characters have been painted with thick contours and strong, calligraphic brush strokes.
The human figures are complimented by the shadows of irregularly shaped trees, birds, fish and dragons; the various motif elements are grouped and appear in different ways on the assorted pieces, some of which have a gold rim decorated with silhouettes of black butterflies and plants.
Â
The skilled craftsmen at Herend paint everything by hand.
Â
Retail price for a teacup and saucer is £96 and a teapot £175.00.
