- Lot Description
Ca. 1900
Slender, plain, and stretched porcelain Milord Knob fashioned of very thick and tough porcelain, which minimizes the chances of chips and breaks and maximizes the protection against surface rubbing and wear.
The underglaze decoration, featuring three repeating wheat spikes, reflects the widespread Far Eastern influence of the time and follows in taste and pale colors the company's own characteristic style.
Seeking an individual identity and a desire to break free from the confines, Royal Copenhagen was looking here for new expressions suitable for modern times. They succeeded in creating a stout, ascetic functionalism combined with a friendly, rounded shape, resulting in straightforward, relaxed elegance.
The available resources were skillfully combined to guarantee an international position for Danish porcelain, where functionalism became the forerunner of the style that would later catch on internationally as Danish Design.
Flawless, the knob proudly brags the three wavy royal blue lines, one above the other, adopted since 1775 as Royal Copenhagen factory mark, and comes with a plain silver collar engraved with a typical German Student Presentation “Scheufelen s/l. H. Obermüller” on a superior, beautifully streaked and richly hued rosewood shaft and a horn ferrule.
H. 2 ¼” x 1 ¼”, 37 ½”
$400-$500
Royal Copenhagen, officially known as the Royal Porcelain Factory, is a Danish porcelain manufacturer. It was founded in Copenhagen in 1775 under the protection of Danish Dowager Queen Juliane Marie.
From the beginning, the Queen was determined to stamp each piece of Royal Copenhagen Porcelain with its unique factory mark, which features three hand-painted waves symbolizing Denmark's waterways: the 'Oresund' or Sound, the Great Belt, and the Little Belt.
The queen also introduced, for larger pieces, the royal crown stamp to highlight the factory’s royal association. Over time, the crown has changed, allowing us to date each piece of Royal Copenhagen.
In the background, the painting by Emma Meyer, Women Decorating Porcelain at Den Kgl. Porzelansfabrik, 1895, serves as a unique illustrated record of work at a porcelain factory.
