By the time the Royal Copenhagen Porcelain Manufactory was founded on 1 May 1775 under the patronage of Queen Juliane Marie, more than one hundred years of persistent efforts had gone into eliciting the secret of porcelain making from the Chinese.

Laborious Beginning. The manufactory's first years were a hard daily struggle against variable and poor raw materials, lack of experience, unsuccessful firings, disappointing experiments. But MŸller and his small select team of artisans laboured with determination and persistence, and succeeded in creating such a solid basis for the manufactory's continued survival that the absolute monarch King Christian VII acceded and took over in 1779, thus guaranteeing the future of the porcelain manufactory.

It was agreed from the outset that the greater proportion of porcelain produced would be painted blue before glazing. This proved the most economical method, since underglaze porcelain demands only one firing - however at a very high temperature (1,400 degrees Celsius) required to fuse the porcelain paste and the glaze. At this time only cobalt blue could withstand such a high temperature. Since then it has become the factory's mark of distinction.

Blue Fluted: The No. 1 Dinner Pattern. For more than 200 years Blue Fluted has been the Royal Copenhagen Porcelain Manufactory's most popular service. The first dinner service pattern to be selected was Blue Fluted. This was a popular pattern in Europe's first porcelain manufactories. Since the taut stylised floral motive originated in China, it was considered the epitome of genuine porcelain. At Royal Copenhagen we continue to paint the pattern by hand, even today. Therefore, Blue Fluted would gradually become synonymous with Danish porcelain.

Blue Flower. A spontaneous freshness which has been the mark of the Royal Copenhagen porcelain pattern Blue Flower since the late 1700's. A bouquet, kept fresh for more than 200 years.

In 1779 another blue dinner service, still in production today, followed: Blue Flower. As opposed to Blue Fluted, this pattern reflected the contemporary European style of naturalistic flowers.

Danish porcelain's first blossoming

A period of blossoming followed. The manufactory's clientele were predominantly the royal family and the nobility. Porcelain was a prestigious status symbol in the 1700s. Commissions for coffee and tea services, not to mention large, elaborate vases, ran to sums that today would be computed in millions. Porcelain was principally commissioned as gifts for family members and foreign monarchs. The works produced were richly decorated in multicoloured overglaze and delicately modelled details.

Bing & Grøndahl var en porcelænsfabrik i København beliggende på hjørnet af Vesterbrogade og Rahbeks Alle. Den blev oprettet 1853 af Frederik Vilhelm Grøndahl samt brødrene Meyer Herman Bing og Jacob Herman Bing.

I 1892 lanceredes Måge-stellet efter design af Fanny Garde. Et par generationer senere i 1950’erne fik Mågestellet prædikatet ”Danmarks nationalstel”, idet man mente at det forefandtes i hvert 10. hjem.

Bing & Grøndahl lancerede i 1895 som de første en juleplatte, og de har stået for en stor og velanskrevet produktion af kunsthåndværk. Produktionen fandt bl.a. sted i Randers/Langå (tidligere Kronjyden). Desuden kom i samme periode et konkurrerende produkt til Den Kongelige Porcelænsfabrik: Et musselmalet stel, der kun adskiller sig fra Den kgl.’s tilsvarende stel ved nogle detaljer ved at være udformet med 3-delt fiskeskælsformet  relief, hvor forlægget er 4-delt og riflet

Som mærke valgte Bing & Grøndahl i 1898 De Tre Tårne - et ældgammelt symbol på København.

Fabrikken blev i 1987 sammenlagt med konkurrenten Den Kongelige Porcelænsfabrik under navnet Royal Copenhagen.
