Royal Copenhagen porcelain has been proudly manufactured since 1775. Fitzsu is an Authorized Royal Copenhagen Dealer. This Danish porcelain line is made with a deep respect for tradition and the time-honored principles of craftsmanship. Royal Copenhagen's porcelain patterns may look simple, the decoration of a single plate from the Blue Fluted dinner service, requires 1,197 brush strokes. And manufacturing a dinner service or a figurine involves many other steps and Danish craftspeople. Each Royal Copenhagen item undergoes a long process of molding, casting and biscuit firing before the painting, glazing and final firing, involving skilled Danish craftspeople at each turn. The parts of Royal Copenhagen china are molded and assembled by hand. If one of Royal Copenhagen's modelers or molders makes a single mistake, he or she will have to start all over again. To maintain our high level of quality, Copenhagen's craftspeople undergo intensive training. The expert craftspeople ensure that products are unique and that they generate a very special atmosphere - conceived, designed, and made on the basis of more than 225 years of craftsmanship and Danish tradition.
