This is the historical outline that begins in 1790 of one of the finest and most exclusive porcelain dinnerwares in the world. Every bit as fascinating is the sublime craftmanship, which has always characterised the service: the finest openwork, the meticulous reproduction of plant anatomy, the detailed gilding and the painstakingly modelled flowers on the handles. This is truly craftmanship of the highest order and has been much admired far beyond Denmark’s borders. Flora Danica will therefore never be just a piece of beautifully decorated porcelain, but a tale of kingdoms and empires, political alliances and changing fashions, and much more. This book will give you an insight into the stories and the fascinating production process that is characteristic of a piece of Flora Danica from Royal Copenhagen.

This very beautiful and comprehensive book about Swedish porcelain over two centuries should be a standard item in art libraries, even as it adorns the shelf of the individual collector and lover of fine porcelain. Chapters are devoted to collecting old porcelain, and to the renowned makers of porcelain, such as Rörstrand, Gustavsberg, and Gefle. Included are makers’ marks as well as complete catalogues from Rörstrand, Gustavsberg, and Gefle. What is truly marvelous, however, is how the porcelain is photographed: in natural, but elegantly arranged place settings, sometimes with food, so that the reader can appreciate the intense pleasure that such wonderful porcelain gave the user.
