Black Lace
Deeply rooted in centuries of fine craftsmanship, Black Lace is a bold take on the refined Princess collection. Made to shine on its own as well as in the company of other hand-painted classics.
Black Lace From Royal Copenhagen
Black Lace is an fresh addition to the hand-painted world of Royal Copenhagen porcelain. The elegant decoration is based on the Blue Lace (Princess) collection from 1978, which was inspired by the lace border from the Blue Origin Half Lace collection from 1888. A beautiful example of how Royal Copenhagen always looks to its long heritage when creating new beautiful pieces for the future.
The Black Lace collection consists of few but different pieces and the pieces are beautiful on their own or combined with Black Fluted Mega or any of the white collections from Royal Copenhagen. The black painted pieces blend effortlessly with the Nordic aesthetic of today.
A Contemporary Combination
For many years the black underglaze colour was an elusive obstacle for the craftsmen, as they struggled to find a colour formula that could withstand the high temperatures required to fire the delicate pieces. Numerous trials resulted in decorations that appeared more brown than black and it was not until 2006 with the launch of Black Fluted Mega that a satisfactory formula was achieved and the first full black collection became a reality.
The History of the Colour Black
When Royal Copenhagen opened its doors in 1775, it was decided that the factory’s primary focus would be the blue painted porcelain. The reason for this decision was the cobalt blue colour could withstand the second firing at 1375 degrees without loosing its iconic vibrancy. Thus only two firings was necessary, keeping cost and production time at a minimum.
