Thank you!
We hope you will enjoy your membership of the Royal Copenhagen Collector's Club.
The Blue Collectibles is a tradition loved by many. Throughout the years, Royal Copenhagen collectibles have told tales about war and peace, love and unforgettable moments. Each product tells a story, and from the moment you hold it in your hand, it becomes part of your story too.
The Anniversary Plate from Blue Collectibles is a celebration of Royal Copenhagen's 250-year anniversary in 2025. The plate offers a nod to the commemorative plate issued in 1975 for Royal Copenhagen’s 200th anniversary, illustrating the silhouette of a porcelain painter. The silhouette is inspired by a papercut from 1927 by Else Hasselriis (1878-1953), an artist employed at the porcelain factory from 1904-1949.
Blue Collectibles from Royal Copenhagen originates from centuries-old traditions and the finest craftsmanship. Each year, new porcelain pieces are added to the collection, becoming a part of Royal Copenhagen's heritage. Among the Blue Collectibles, you can find classic blue plates, charming figurines, ornaments, candle holders and more. Commemorate special occasions with Blue Collectibles.
Designed for Royal Copenhagen's 250th anniversary, the 2025 Royal Copenhagen Annual Plate depicts a bust of Queen Juliane Marie, who was one of the founders of the porcelain factory in 1775. Next to her on the windowsill is the first-ever Royal Copenhagen Annual Plate from 1908, and through the window you can see Frederiksborg Castle.
The 2025 Bing & Grøndahl Annual Plate depicts the iconic Grundtvig's Church in Bispebjerg, Copenhagen. The church was finalized in 1940 in memory of priest and poet N.F.S. Grundtvig.
Every year, the Blue Collectibles Thermal Mug take on a new expression dressed in the classic blue underglaze spray-painting, which has been used since the very first Annual Plate in 1895. The design is inspired by the Royal Copenhagen Annual Christmas Plate. The thermal mug is available with or without a saucer.
Every year on the first Sunday in Advent, candles are lit on the Christmas tree in the Town Hall Square of Copenhagen, a tradition dating back to 1914. In this year's motif on the Royal Copenhagen Plaquette, a little boy and his mother greet Santa Claus, who is crossing the Town Hall Square.
In 1888, the idea of Royal Copenhagen's Christmas plate, as we know it today, was first conceived. At that time, the annual Nordic Industrial, Agricultural, and Art Exhibition was held in Copenhagen. The exhibition was known for being a spectacular event, attracting 1.3 million visitors to the country. The Royal Porcelain Factory had created a series of plates for its booth, adorned in blue with the factory's logo: the crown and the three waves. Around this time, artists at the Royal Porcelain Factory, Frans August Hallin, experimented with carving a relief into the plate's mold, making it possible to produce several plates effortlessly.
In 1895, Hallin left the Royal Porcelain Factory and took his idea to Bing & Grøndahl, where owner Harald Bing conceived the idea of using the relief technique to create a collector's plate for an event that could be repeated year after year.
Thirteen years later, Royal Copenhagen followed suit and released their own plate using Hallin's relief technique. Although the two porcelain factories were merged in 1987, the two series still exist side by side to the benefit and delight of collectors worldwide.
Depicting the animals of the Chinese Zodiac, Royal Copenhagen's Annual Zodiac Figurines are based on the Chinese calendar that assigns an animal and its attributes to each year in a repeating 12-year cycle. In 2025, the Annual Zodiac Figurine is the snake, an animal characterised by calm observation, excellent intuition, intelligence and wisdom.
The motif of the 2025 Bing & Grøndahl Mother's Day Plate features a cow moose and her two calves in a clearing. A gentle giant from the north never before featured on an Annual Plate, the moose is a majestic creature with the mild disposition. Like every year, the motif is designed by Dag Samsund.
This year’s Blue Collectibles Figurine is a watchful crow. Like every year, the Blue Collectibles Figurine is inspired by the motif of the Annual Plate and is designed by Allan Therkelsen.
This year’s Annual Figurine is a charming little Baby Rhino, a new addition to the series of Blue Collectibles Figurines depicting endangered species. With its brute power and charming expression, the Rhino leaves the beholder with a feeling of both awe and affection. Every year, the Annual Figurine is sculpted by Allan Therkelsen.
Every year, new charming figurines, ornaments, and other artifacts are added to the Blue Collectibles. Several of the figurines also connect to Royal Copenhagen's long porcelain history, such as the Christmas angels, originally launched in 1955 in pure white porcelain.
