A MAJESTIC TALE 

An inspired collaboration with HM Queen Margrethe

In celebration of Royal Copenhagen’s 250th anniversary, we are honored to introduce the Anniversary Mug, illustrated by Her Majesty Queen Margrethe.

A Limited Edition piece, the Anniversary Mug is born from Her Majesty’s creative genius, beautifully decorated with two charming fish. Only available in the anniversary year, 2025.

A ROYAL LEGACY

Royal Copenhagen's ties to the Royal Danish Court are as old as Royal Copenhagen itself, with the porcelain factory founded at the hands of Queen Juliane Marie in 1775.

Our collaboration with HM Queen Margrethe to create the Anniversary Mug is a beautiful testament to our royal legacy - and to a shared passion for artistry.

BORN FROM CREATIVITY

ILLUSTRATED BY HM QUEEN MARGRETHE OF DENMARK
A Majestic Tale from Royal Copenhagen

A Majestic Tale from Royal Copenhagen

Her Majesty Queen Margrethe is known for her great creativity and artistic talent, both of which are evident in the beautiful illustration Her Majesty has created for the Anniversary Mug in celebration of Royal Copenhagen's 250-year anniversary.

With its two hand-painted cobalt blue fish swimming joyfully through gentle waves, Her Majesty's illustration gives a loving nod to Royal Copenhagen's oceanic legacy and the three waves that adorn the bottom of every single piece of our porcelain.

"It is a pleasure for me to take part in celebrating Royal Copenhagen's 250 years of Danish craftsmanship and design. The cup's motif is inspired by a fish I painted in France many years ago. I have always been fond of it, and I think the hand-painted decoration looks so lovely on the fluted porcelain.“

A MULTI-PURPOSE COLLECTOR'S ITEM

The Anniversary Mug is multi-purposed, envisioned by Her Majesty to function for hot beverages as well as for storing creative tools on the desk.

THE BRUSHSTROKE TECHNIQUE

The motif on the Anniversary Mug is a demonstration of artistry, each piece reflecting the creative freedom of the blue painter to recreate the delightful illustration created by Her Majesty Queen Margrethe.

The two charming fish are painted using the same technique as the one used for the Blomst collection, which with its wider brushstrokes appears more organic than for instance the delicate Blue Fluted Plain collection. The waves underneath one of the fish are painted in freehand for a softer expression, which also means that the waves vary from mug to mug, and from painter to painter.
