Since its founding in 1775, every single piece of china from Royal Copenhagen has borne the now world-famous logo with its three waves. They symbolize the Danish straits of Great Belt, Little Belt and the Sound. With its timelessly classic blue and white porcelain the company cultivates its traditions and the highest standards of Danish craftsmanship — to this very day, all pieces are handmade and handpainted. At the same time, for Royal Copenhagen, the waves are a symbol of their commitment to constant innovation, and hence the brand stands for originality and a quality-conscious lifestyle. An annual highlight is the exhibition of artistically designed Christmas tables, which has become one of the most popular events in Copenhagen. For 50 years now, international celebrities, including even the Danish Queen, have used Royal Copenhagen’s exclusive China to present their own interpretations of festive table settings.
