Purpur Fluted Half Lace

The craftsmanship behind the exclusive purpur-coloured collections is something quite special. Not only is the history of the colour quite unique, the purpur-colored collections are also painted with the special overglaze technique that we know from e.g. the Flora Danica collection.

The tale of a luxurious colour

The purple colour dates back to the 1600s, where German alchemist A. Cassius developed the glowing, intense shade. When Frantz Heinrich Müller founded the Royal Danish Porcelain Factory in 1775, he kept this very formula in his notebook. In later years, Royal Copenhagen has brought the historic recipe back to life for the overglaze hand-painted decoration on Purple Fluted Half Lace.
