Royal Copenhagen Dinnerware

Blue Fluted, Full Lace

http://stan.tillotson.com/RCD-FULL.JPG

For more than 200 years, "Full Lace" (or "Open Lace") has been one of the world's premiere dinner services.  Each piece is hand-painted in a rich cobalt blue, and then glazed and fired so that the color and pattern remain vibrant essentially forever.  Most pieces are pierced (reticulated), giving the distinctive open lacey edge to the plates and serving pieces.  For obvious reasons, the cups are not pierced, but they have the lace pattern molded and handpainted around both the top and the foot of the cup, and the matching saucers have a sculpted edge that follows the shape of the lace.  Over the years, many elaborate and fanciful accessory pieces have been created for this set, so that it is as much a collector's item as it is a dinner service.

Prior to 1990, each piece had a "fractional" mark on the back; the top number was the pattern and the bottom number was the shape (item) number.  For example, 1/1088 stands for pattern #1 (Blue Fluted), shape #1088 (Full Lace bread & butter plate).  In 1990, all dinnerware patterns were given new four-digit numbers, and each individual piece was assigned a new standardized three-digit shape number.  Full Lace is now pattern #1103, and a 6 inch bread & butter is now shape #615.  So a new Full Lace 6 " bread & butter plate is now #1103-615.  It is EXACTLY the same item (made from the same molds) as the old #1/1088; only the number has changed.   

Most items that I have in stock are second hand and have the old numbers; most are discounted 30% to 60% from the current Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price ("MSRP" or "List Price").  All are FIRST QUALITY and in EXCELLENT CONDITION.  

Special Orders for NEW Dinnerware: Royal Copenhagen does not want any of their wholesale accounts (including me) selling NEW dinnerware at a discount from MSRP.  I will continue to buy and sell dinnerware on the secondary market , with prices at least 30% below MSRP, but I will no longer be able to offer a discount on any item that I have to order new from Royal Copenhagen.  If you are looking for items that I do not show as being in stock, please ask;  I may still be able to locate them elsewhere at a significant discount.

Cups and Saucers:  Until recently, cups and saucers were available separately, and were assigned separate shape numbers.  For example, the "cup and saucer" for the five-piece place setting is #071; the cup alone is #072; the saucer alone is #073.  Please inquire if you need to replace just cups or just saucers.

Factory Seconds:  I have a few pieces marked as factory seconds (with a scratch through the trademark) priced approximately 50% below my normal discount price.  These include: 8 bread & butter plates #1088 @ $40 (first quality = $80); 6 coffee cups and saucers #1035 @ $50 (first quality = $100).  Ask about others that might be available.

Place Settings: In 1990, Royal Copenhagen introduced some new place setting pieces: the Buffet Dinner Plate (larger and flatter than the Traditional Dinner Plate #1084) and a new Salad Plate (same size but flatter than the Traditional Salad Plate #1086).  In 2004, they substituted a larger size bread & butter plate (now 6.75" instead of 5.75").  If you order a "Five-Piece Place Setting" from the factory today, you get what's shown at the top of the page.   The Traditional Five-Piece Place Setting (prior to 1990) is shown separately, just below the Current Five-Piece Place Setting.  If you are filling in an older set, talk to me about matching what you already have.  If you are starting a new set, the new place settings will be easier to match in the future.
