Coral Lace
The Coral Lace collection gets its elegant half lace border from the 1978 Blue Lace collection. The soft coral colour that encircles the fluted porcelain surface, creating a simple and delicate look, is inspired by the Royal Copenhagen colour archive. Introduced in 2023.
A contemporary and timeless colour
A touch of soft vibrancy and contemporary elegance. Coral Lace is a soft, yet vibrant coral, inspired by our historical colour archive. A colour that feels modern, but still has a sense of timelessness.
Inspiration from the archive
In the late 1800’s after Arnold Krog had been appointed Artistic Director, a few special productions with Pattern No. 1 in a variety of overglaze colours were made to be sold at Tiffany’s in New York. The colours were a light blue, emerald green and a bright raspberry pink - this pink colour became the inspiration for the Coral Collections.
The Craft behind Coral
Explore in-glaze handpainting
The majority of Royal Copenhagen's porcelain is painted in the iconic cobalt blue, where the various decorations are handpainted using the underglaze technique. This means that the painter paints on the biquit porcelain and after that the colour is locked with the glazing and firing.
The Coral collections are not handpainted with the underglaze technique but with the lesser know craft; in-glaze. The porcelain then undergoes the third and final firing at approximately 1100°C. This firing fuses the paint and glaze together, creating a durable finish and adding a razor sharp appearance to the decorations
