Royal Copenhagen Sale

You KNOW that I love my Royal Copenhagen Blue Fluted Half Lace china and my White Half Lace pieces that I was given last year. So I was thrilled to see that Royal Copenhagen is having a “friends and family” sale in New York next month. I may just have to Bolt up there and see what they have.white-half-laceIt’s a pretty amazing sale with up to 70% off of their samples, discontinued pieces and unboxed merchandise. If you’ve ever priced Royal Copenhagen, this brings it down to a somewhat reasonable cost. blue-fluted-half-laceHere’s something pretty amazing: The brushes used by the Royal Copenhagen porcelain painters are made from the hairs at the tip of a cow’s ears or alternatively the hairs from a reindeer’s stomach. flora-danicaThe sale is November 2nd to 6th, from 8:00 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. at 41 Madison Avenue, Third Floor, New York City. 212.532.5051. Cash and cheques only. They ask that you be green and bring your own shopping bag.

  1. Hi Meg,

    I'm a huge lover of Royal Copenhagen's flora danica. I've been saving up for years to collect pieces when I can afford and to date have 3 reticulated Anemone Ranunculoides dinner plates and 5 different salad plates. I visited the flagship store in Copenhagen in 2006 and was mesmerized with the top floor museum that showcased the flora danica collection with couture 17th century style gowns with the exact botanical patterns made in silk. I felt the same excitement as if I were at the Hermitage museum. If you haven't already visited the store, you should if and when you get the chance.
