The Royal Copenhagen Porcelain Manufactory was founded in 1775. The three wavy lines, symbolizing the three waters separating the country: - the Sound, The Great Belt and the Cattegat, became the trademark. Known throughout the world for decorative porcelain, plates & collectibles; quality porcelain set from common service to Flora Danica. In 1885 production of underglaze figurines was initiated. And since then until now these figurines has become an attractive decoration or objects of collection in many homes throughout the world.

"Sometimes the factory failed to produce perfection and pieces were marked as 'seconds'. This was done by scratching through the three wavy blue lines either with a diamond cutter or a wheel. There are also thirds, fourths etc. From our experience in looking at many seconds, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. The reasons why some pieces are seconds are sometimes unclear, ranging from minor color variations from the norm to obvious blemishes. We have also found that with the older pieces (pre-1935), production techniques/quality controls were not as stringent as today. Some early pieces were not marked as second even though there are glazing or color defects." |
