25 unika art platters divided into three numbered editions will be sold at Royal Copenhagen Flagship store in Copenhagen from May 1st 2025
Crafted in 100% porcelain. Each art platter and all individual decorations are hand-modelled and hand-glazed by Royal Copenhagen’s craftsmen. On the three editions, there are used between 120-180 decorative pieces and 31 different glazes – created from Klara Lilja’s own recipies.
‘Ocean was the first of the art platters that I made, and the first one I visualized. The ocean is where life first began and in the same way this platter tells the first part of the collective story,’ says Klara Lilja. For inquires about the artworks contact our Flagship store at Amagertorv in Copenhagen.
The Ocean art platters feature starfish, snail shells and fish eggs, poised on top of a mesmerizing blue background. As with all glazes used for the art platters, the blue crystal glaze is Klara’s own. Adapting it to the delicate porcelain and the temperatures used for burning required extensive expertise and know-how by the porcelain factory’s craftsmen.
Width: 33 cm
Weight: Approx 2,7 to 3,0 kilo (varies because platter and the hand modelled decorations on each artwork differs in composure of the porcelain mass)
‘The Land art platter represents the next step in the evolution of life,’ says Klara Lilja. ‘From the ocean, creatures crawl onto land and life develops. The snails on this art platter are inspired by a classic Royal Copenhagen component, but here they are no longer alone, they are close and they are touching. With this piece I wanted to go all in on minimizing distance and loading elements onto the surface – more is more, as was the case with the splendid platters from 16th century France that were my initial inspiration.’ For inquires about the artworks contact our Flagship store at Amagertorv in Copenhagen.
Every single component of the art platters is created and glazed by hand, and the Royal Copenhagen craftsmen collaborated closely with Klara Lilja on every detail, making sure the final pieces were as envisioned. The colour of the topmost starfish on the Land platter required multiple attempts before the perfect shade of coral was achieved.
Width: Approx. 35 – 37 cm (width depending on the placement of leaf decorations extending the surface of the platter)
Weight: 2,9 – 3,1 kilos (varies because platter and the hand modelled decorations on each artwork differs in composure of the porcelain mass)
The white crystal glaze of the Air platter beautifully symbolizes the clouds around the airborne creatures that adorn it, surrounded by Klara Lilja’s signature pink. While the dragonflies were initially created by one of Royal Copenhagen’s skilled craftsmen with 50 years’ experience, the butterflies are a key component across Klara Lilja’s work.

‘I have always loved butterflies, and I even used to breed them. When the caterpillar finally turns into a butterfly, it is actually the final stage of its life; they only live for one season. This art platter is the great fireworks right before the end,’ Klara Lilja explains.
Width: Between 35 - 36,5 cm (width depending on the placement of leaf decorations extending the surface of the platter)
Weight: 2,3 – 2,4 kilo (varies because platter and the hand modelled decorations on each artwork differs in composure of the porcelain mass)
