Royal Copenhagen is launching Blue Fluted Half Lace tableware in a captivating new black version, nearly 120 years after it was created.
The black pattern sets off the white porcelain and creates an elegant, sophisticated unity that radiates both exclusivity and respect for history.
Black gives the lace border new life and brings the service up to date with haute couture 2007 style.
“Blue Fluted Half Lace is a Royal Copenhagen icon, which makes it extremely exciting, to be allowed to use this new service to shake people’s perceptions that Royal Copenhagen is blue and white. †explains Niels Bastrup, Royal Copenhagen’s Creative Director.
The History – The Blue Fluted pattern is the very foundation stone in Royal Copenhagen’s amazing history-it was the first service to go into production in 1775 and was revitalised and celebrated once more in the late 1880s, when the legendary artist Arnold Krog created Blue Fluted Half Lace.
The pattern is famous for its abiding popularity, its timelessness and the painstaking craftsmanship – 1,197 brushstrokes on a single plate!
Initially the service is being launched with the five most essential items: coffee cup, teacup, dinner plate, lunch plate and deep plate; available from late October.
Prices range from £78.00 for a coffee cup and saucer.
