Blue Fluted porcelain

Blue Fluted Plain
The pattern is admired for its vigour and timeless qualities and is believed to illustrate a chrysanthemum, which, through abstractions and simplifications, was transformed into its present form long before the pattern reached Europe.

When Europe reinvented the old Chinese secret of making porcelain in the early 1700s, many European princes took pride in establishing their own porcelain factories, and this old Chinese pattern migrated from one factory to another. When the Royal Copenhagen Porcelain Manufactory was established in 1775, its founder, Frantz Henrich Müller, adopted it too.


Blue Fluted Half Lace
No less than 1,197 hand painted brush strokes. Although the pattern originated from China and has been used in a multiplicity of variations by porcelain factories all over the world, the Danish Blue Fluted has gained its world fame as the true Blue Fluted. This is due to the fact that in Denmark, the pattern is still painted by hand by specially trained craftspeople; a tradition still carried on today by a new generation of porcelain painters - even though it takes 1,197 brush strokes to paint a Blue Fluted dinner plate.


Blue Fluted Full Lace
The Blue Fluted pattern is part of Denmark's cultural heritage. To connoisseurs all over the world it is synonymous with Danish porcelain. Blue Fluted is Royal Copenhagen's very first porcelain dinner service and is to Danish underglaze-decorated porcelain what the costly Flora Danica is to Danish overglaze-decorated porcelain: a measure of the skill, tradition and craftsmanship at Royal Copenhagen.


Blue Fluted Mega
The designer Karen Kjældgaard-Larsen grew up with the Blue Fluted service and had always been fascinated by it and the small differences that typify the hand-painted service and make every single piece unique. It was therefore with great respect for the old service, which was the porcelain factory's first back in 1775, that the Blue Fluted Mega decoration came into being. Selected fragments of the traditional Blue Fluted decoration are enlarged, so that beautifully sweeping lines and portions of the stylised chrysanthemum form an almost graphical whole.
