Small art nouveau vase signed Royal Copenhagen

The royal copenhagen porcelain factory was founded in 1775 by the chemist frantz heinrich muller. Initially, the factory restored and repaired the royal family's tableware. The manufacturer was also inspired by the tableware exported from china and its blue painted decorations, which were very popular at the time. Since then, the hand-painted blue decorations have become the hallmark of royal copenhagen and are used in many of its services. The manufacturer uses a cobalt blue, the purest blue, called cobalt zinc silicate, which allows for very subtle shades of blue.
