Royal Copenhagen is launching a new children’s service with history, in the exciting world of porcelain, portrayed in a new children’s book.
Does porcelain have a secret life when we’re not looking? Shane Brox has spun a magic tale based on this idea in his book Masquerade, which introduces the new service from Royal Copenhagen for children and the young at heart.
In Masquerade well-known characters from Royal Copenhagen are brought to life as soon as granny leaves her cottage:
The gallant little seahorse from the Seagull service is the principal character and is surrounded by a cast that includes the dreamy polar bear, the motherly Blue Fluted plate and the cunning sneaking cat – all figurines and icons from Royal Copenhagen’s treasury that have been brought to life by author and designer Shane Brox.
In granny’s absence the porcelain holds a fancy dress party and the hunt for the best costume is on; the towers and spires of Copenhagen, swirling Royal Copenhagen patterns and beautiful, varied colours, also make an appearance in Shane’s clever illustrations.
There are two versions of the children’s service: one for a boy, the other for a girl.
The service contains two plates (flat and deep) retailing at £51 per set and a mug at£20.25.
The book Masquerade published by Politikens Forlag is priced at £15.00.
All would make superb Christmas presents.
