ROYAL COPENHAGEN™

Blue Fluted Mega Mini Espresso Cup & Saucer

The Blue Fluted service dates from the 1770s and was one of the first patterns to be used when the Royal Copenhagen Porcelain Manufactory was founded in 1775. Although the pattern originated from China and has been used in a multitude of varieties by porcelain factories all over the world, the Danish Blue Fluted has gained its world fame as the true Blue Fluted. This is due to the fact that in Denmark it is the pattern still painted by hand by specially trained craftspeople; a tradition still carried on today by a new generation of porcelain painters it is worth noting that it takes 1,197 brush strokes to paint a Blue Fluted dinner plate. The Blue Fluted series became popular immediately, has never gone out of fashion, and has been the most sought-after of the Royal Copenhagen dinner services ever since.
