Manufacturing porcelain at Royal Copenhagen
When you hold a finished cup, plate, figurine or any Royal Copenhagen porcelain item in your hand, it has already passed through up to thirty pairs of hands which have taken the porcelain clay through moulding, painting, firing, glazing and packing. Close your eyes, imagine the smell of chalky porcelain clay, and take an imaginary tour to see the noble craft of porcelain production in all its phases.
