STILL MAKING WAVES

250TH ANNIVERSARY

In 2025, Royal Copenhagen celebrates its 250th anniversary, as do the three iconic waves that have adorned every piece of porcelain from the factory since 1775.

For 250 years, the three cobalt waves have set the standard for Danish craftsmanship and design, and this year we celebrate all that they represent: their insistence on enduring craft traditions, dinnerware rituals, and the emotional value of artisanal porcelain that continues to inspire and captivate.

We invite you to join the celebration throughout the year as we share glimpses of our rich history and unveil beautiful new creations to mark this monumental milestone.

 

Thre blue waves from Royal Copenhagen

1775-2025

At the very first Royal Copenhagen board meeting in 1775, it was decided that three blue waves would grace every piece of porcelain crafted by the factory. The waves symbolize the waters surrounding Denmark: the Great Belt, the Little Belt, and the Sound.

To this day, the three simple brushstrokes continue to act as a testament to Royal Copenhagen’s commitment to craftsmanship and as a reminder that even 250 years on, we’re still making waves.
