Royal Copenhagen
Aluminia Town
Plates
Royal Copenhagen
designated its faience (earthenware) products as Aluminia, and used a separate
trademark for them -- a large "A" with the crossbar of the "A" replaced with
the three wavey lines of Royal Copenhagen. In 1904 and 1905, a series
of 9 inch plates were made featuring the Town Coats of Arms for a variety
of cities and towns in Denmark. Two German cities (Dresden and Munich)
were aded in 1909, and several Swedish cities and counties (#1049 to #1082)
were added in 1915. All were hand-painted in brilliant colors.
Because they
are faience (earthenware), they are much easier to chip, and almost all
earthenware plates of this vintage are subject to minor crazing -- a network
of tiny cracks in the glaze itself, caused by differences in the rates of
expansion and contraction of the glaze and the underlying plate, when they
are warmed or cooled or exposed to direct sunlight).
All but one of these have been sold; #276 is available,
priced at $150. Please inquire if interested in other plates in this
series. I would like
to BUY any plate in this series not pictured on this page (or at least have
a photo!)
