About the Item
Two Danish Royal Copenhagen Flora Danica Porcelain Wine Coolers
Danish, 20th Century
Height 16cm, diameter 18cm
These 20th century wine coolers come from the Flora Danica dinner service by Royal Copenhagen. The esteemed Flora Danica service, first conceived in the late 18th century, was designed not only as a triumph of craftsmanship but also as a diplomatic offering. Amid the 1788–89 conflict between Russia and Sweden, Denmark - although allied with Russia - did not provide military support. In 1790, King Christian VII commissioned the dinner service, inspired by the botanical illustrations of the Flora Danica booklets published in 1752, as a gesture of reconciliation. The service was completed in 1802, following the passing of Empress Catherine II of Russia in 1796.
Each piece is meticulously hand-painted with detailed botanical imagery from the Flora Danica encyclopedia, the Latin name of the plant carefully inscribed on the reverse. Its exceptional artistry and limited production ensure it remains highly prized among collectors today.
The wine coolers in this set are particularly remarkable. They feature delicate illustrations of Gratiola officinalis L. (gratiola), with the species noted in a handwritten mark on the base. Soft pastel hues highlight the plant’s subtle charm, while three-dimensional porcelain handles, shaped like flowering branches, enhance the naturalistic effect.
Gilding on the base and rim adds a luxurious touch, and the panelled borders are decorated with gilt bosses - raised gold dots - from which pairs of leaves hang gracefully, framed within rectangular panels. The underside bears the iconic Royal Copenhagen three-wave mark, the maker’s stamp, and the model number.
Of superb quality, these wine coolers celebrate the beauty and enduring legacy of the Flora Danica service, making them a distinguished addition to any collection.

Royal Copenhagen
Producers of the finest in Danish porcelain, Royal Copenhagen is a company steeped in tradition. Its celebrated blue-and-white china patterns as well as its famed hallmark depicting the royal crown and three waves — symbolizing the monarch who founded the company and the three major waterways of Denmark — are emblems of master craftsmanship.
Royal Copenhagen was founded in 1775 by Queen Juliane Marie. Years earlier, after the death of her husband, King Frederick V, Juliane’s stepson ascended the throne. Shortly into his reign, he went insane, and the Queen became the head of Denmark and its small empire. She sought to improve Denmark’s economy and founded factories around the country to promote domestic growth and international trade. Royal Copenhagen was one of the first of these. Royal Copenhagen first made dinnerware and vases with blue-and-white motifs inspired by Chinese porcelain, then the rage in aristocratic Europe. Many of these designs are still made today.
Apart from its classic patterns, Royal Copenhagen has adapted to the changing styles of time and appeals to many different tastes. Their prolific body of work includes Rococo-style porcelain statues that incorporate stylistic floral patterns in an Art Nouveau style, as well as modern vases by such noted 20th century Danish ceramists as Axel Salto. Whether used for special occasions or displayed as part of a design collection, Royal Copenhagen pieces represent a legacy of the highest quality.
