Royal Copenhagen Pan

To identify a Royal Copenhagen pattern, first examine the backstamp on your piece. The official Royal Copenhagen website has a reference guide that you can use to determine the year of your piece's production based on this stamp. From there, you can search the pattern resource on the official website for that year and find out the name of your Royal Copenhagen pattern. Find a collection of Royal Copenhagen china on 1stDibs.

To tell Royal Copenhagen seconds, locate the maker's mark. You'll usually find it on the bottom of pieces. If you see a fine vertical line cut into the three lines of the maker's arched logo, your piece is likely a second, meaning that it didn't meet Royal Copenhagen's quality standards at the time of production. Because the line can be very faint, it may be helpful to use a magnifying glass when examining your piece. Shop a large collection of Royal Copenhagen porcelain wares on 1stDibs.
