Description

A set of 12 vintage Royal Copenhagen porcelain plates, each exhibiting exquisite hand-painted ichthyological motifs, captures the vibrant beauty of aquatic life. Crafted from fine porcelain, these plates measure 9.75 inches in diameter and feature a delicate gold-plated rim that gracefully complements the intricate designs. Each plate showcases a unique fish species rendered in meticulous detail, set against a backdrop of aquatic plants, highlighting the artistry and skill synonymous with Royal Copenhagen. The well-preserved original glaze displays a lustrous finish, enhancing the vivid colors of the hand-painted fish. The scalloped edges of the plates are adorned with a textured fish scale relief, adding depth and a tactile quality to the design. Slight wear to the gilded edges is in keeping with the set's age and gentle use, yet the overall presentation remains strikingly elegant. No chips, cracks, or repairs are evident, underscoring the plates' exceptional condition. The reverse of each plate bears the Royal Copenhagen mark, confirming authenticity, along with the Latin name of the fish depicted—an educational touch that speaks to the plates' original intent as both functional and decorative art. This set embodies a blend of aesthetic refinement and naturalistic study, characteristic of mid-20th-century porcelain production.
