Flora Danica

Flora Danica is a line of porcelain made by Royal Copenhagen, a Danish manufacturer. It features delicate hand-painted floral patterns sourced from Flora Danica, a botanical encyclopedia published during the 18th century. The Flora Danica porcelain range dates back to 1803, when Royal Copenhagen produced a set of porcelain ware for the Danish royal family to use for Christian VII's seventh birthday party. Since then, the Flora Danica collection has grown to include more than 1,500 pieces. Find a variety of Royal Copenhagen Flora Danica porcelain ware on 1stDibs.

How much Flora Danica plates are worth varies. Royal Copenhagen Flora Danica china has been in continuous production since the 18th century, so plates bearing the now iconic floral motif inspired by the illustrations in a botany atlas can be contemporary pieces, vintage items or antiques. Generally, the older the plates are, the more they will be worth. Condition, size and style also impact the value, which may be hundreds or hundreds of thousands of dollars.
