This is a vintage Royal Copenhagen porcelain tea service, made in Denmark. Royal Copenhagen is one of Europe’s most respected porcelain manufacturers, founded in 1775, and is especially prized for hand-finished, high-quality porcelain.
Manufacturer
Royal Copenhagen (Denmark)
The green crown mark and three blue wavy lines are Royal Copenhagen’s classic factory mark.
The three waves symbolize Denmark’s three waterways: Øresund, Great Belt, and Little Belt.
Dating
The green crown + handwritten numbers and painter’s initials indicate mid-20th century production, most likely *1950s–1970s*.
Handwritten pattern numbers and painter marks confirm hand-decorated production rather than modern transfer printing.
