UPDATING CLASSICS
Royal Copenhagen’s Blue Fluted Plain dinner service was its first (hence its alternative name
‘Pattern Number 1’) and is its most enduring. Since its creation in 1775 the elegant porcelain
collection, with its distinctive hand-painted blue floral decoration on top of the delicate ridged
fluting, has become a true classic and now has many collectors around the world in addition to
those people who just use and love it every day. But even the most historic designs need to be
looked at with fresh eyes occasionally and in 2000 the Blue Fluted Mega collection was
unveiled. With its modern abstraction and development of the classic Pattern Number 1 design,
it was an instant success.
Continuing the process of updating and renewing the classics, this autumn Royal Copenhagen
is introducing new pieces in both the Blue Fluted Plain and the Fluted Mega services. J PRESS RELEASE August 2018 UPDATING CLASSICS Ro thermal mugs - featuring Black Mega, Black Fluted
