Royal Copenhagen Blue Flower Curved

Blue Flower represents Denmark's most beautiful flowers in Royal Copenhagen's distinctive shade of blue. The service dates from 1779 and was redesigned and given its present form around 100 years later by Arnold Krog. The lovely Blue Flower services are produced in two versions: Braided and Curved.
The Blue Flower Curved service takes its name from the S-shaped relief decoration on each piece. However, it is not only the design that distinguishes the Curved service from its Braided counterpart. In contrast to the Blue Flower Braided design, the main bouquet on the Blue Flower Curved service is asymmetrical, and surrounded by only three sprays. For example, the main bouquet can be bound around a tulip, rose, poppy, carnation, marguerite or aster depending on the preference of the porcelain painter. The painter can choose from among 15-20 different bouquets.
Blue Flower is painted completely by hand, and right from the outset the decoration had a freshness and grace that was lacking in similar European blue porcelain painting in the 18th century. To this day the technique and the hand painting remain the same, although the decoration has undergone some inevitable changes, as it is human beings that paint flowers on the porcelain each day, and true to tradition the porcelain painter has the artistic freedom to put together the bouquet as she wishes. That is why every piece is unique - you will never find two exactly the same.
All pieces are assembled, painted and glazed by hand.
