About This Book

The book traces the history and development of the Royal Copenhagen porcelain factory from its eighteenth-century origins through a nineteenth-century overglaze phase to a late nineteenth-century modern renaissance, describing technical processes, decorative styles, and the artists and directors who shaped each era. It examines significant products such as floral and figure services, underglaze blue-and-white wares, crystalline glazes, and art faience, and explains factory marks, painters' signatures, and provenance issues important to collectors. Illustrated plates and tables of marks accompany chapters on periods, successors, and the factory's contemporary output to aid identification and appreciation.

Transcriber's Note

The background has been dropped out of some of the illustrations where it was easy. However many illustrations have the portions of the edge of the pottery in shadow and it is impossible to tell where boundary is, between the pottery and the background. In others, the background was left in the illustration for consistency.

Illustrations have been moved from their location in the original book so they do not break paragraphs. The links in the List of Illustrations point to the illustrations, not the cited page numbers.

Archaic and unusual spellings have been maintained as in the original book. Some spellings have been changed to bring conformance between the List of Illustrations, the body of the book and the Index. These are detailed in the table below and in the text.

In researching the correct spelling of Francesco Antonibon's name regarding his letter to Lady Charlotte Schreiber, it came to light that the cited work, "Marks and Monograms on Pottery and Porcelain" by William Chaffers does exist, but does not contain the cited information. A related work by the same author, "Marks and Monograms on European and Oriental Pottery and Porcelain with Historical Notices of Each Manufactory" contains the cited information. The citation has not been changed in the footnote in this book.
