Since its very first brushstrokes came to life in 1775, the Royal Copenhagen Porcelain Manufactory has left an exciting trail of form and colours. Its first dinner service pattern was Blue Fluted, a popular pattern in Europe's first porcelain manufactories. Since the stylised floral motive originated in China, it was considered the epitome of genuine porcelain. Blue Fluted would gradually become synonymous with Danish porcelain. The pattern continues to be popular and is still painted by hand today.
