About the Item

Crafted in the highly celebrated Flora Danica motif, the service dish features the Polygala Amarum, or bitter milkwort, depicted with extraordinary artistry on its base.

Royal Copenhagen, once the porcelain supplier to the Queen of Denmark, is known throughout the world for their quality craftsmanship and creative artistry. Founded in 1775, the first pieces ever produced were complex dining services for the Danish Royal Family. In 1790, Royal Copenhagen unveiled their Flora Danica pattern, now considered one of the most important and celebrated porcelain motifs ever created.

Crustacean Flora Danica Plate by Royal Copenhagen
By Royal Copenhagen
Located in New Orleans, LA
This hand-painted porcelain plate by Royal Copenhagen is adorned by the firm's highly regarded Flora Danica pattern.
