Collection – Blue Fluted Plain
The Blue Fluted Plain collection serves as the foundation of Royal Copenhagen’s 250-year legacy. Officially known as “Pattern No. 1,” this design debuted in 1775 as the factory’s very first pattern. It remains a global icon of hand-painted porcelain and Danish artistry. Every piece features the signature cobalt blue floral motifs applied with meticulous brushstrokes. This original design lacks the perforated lace borders of later variations, highlighting its understated elegance and timeless utility. Because artisans hand-paint every item, no two pieces in the collection are exactly alike.
