Description |
One of three covered Tureens, made by Royal Copenhagen, in the "Blue Fluted Half* Lace" pattern. This piece of the tureen, the bowl, is medium-sized. It is hand-painted with blue on white, with a pattern based on stylised crysanthemum and cinquefoil. The design includes depictions of flowers on stems, petals, leaves, and ivy. The inside of the bowl is decorated with a sprig of flowers and leaves on the two long sides, and a single flower on each of the shorter sides. *This Tureen is part of a porcelain dinnerware set, made by Royal Copenhagen, in the Blue Fluted pattern. Blithewold's set includes about 270 individual pieces. The Blue Fluted pattern was Royal Copenhagen’s first porcelain dinner service, it was first made and used in 1775, and continues to be sold today. The Blithewold dinner service includes three sub-sets of the Blue Fluted pattern: Plain, "Half " Lace, and "Full" Lace. The patterns differ in complexity, with Full Lace having a unique "open-border" band around the rim or foot of some pieces, a gilded rim edge, and may be more densely painted. The Plain and Half-Lace patters appear similar, so for our purposes, we are calling all patterns of either type, "Half-Lace." According to Royal Copenhagen, all designs are hand-painted. Maker's Marks may be hand-painted, or hand-stamped. |
