Flora Danica Dinner Plates, Set of 12
About the Item
First created as a gift for Czarina Catherine II of Russia in the late 18th century, the pattern is now a symbol of royalty and prestige. It is based on George Christian Oeder's 1771 publication Flora Danica, an encyclopedia including 3,000 hand-colored copper plate prints depicting every wild plant known to exist in Denmark including mosses, fungi, ferns and flowers. Crown Prince Frederick, later King Frederick VI, was so intrigued by the tome that it inspired him to commission a dinner service for the Czarina.
