Royal Copenhagen large oval porcelain tray 1847-1872 with building

This large oval porcelain tray from Royal Copenhagen is a beautiful and atmospheric piece of Danish porcelain, where history, decoration and craftsmanship meet in a distinctive expression. In the middle of the tray is a fine hand-painted motif of a building in a green landscape, framed by a rich gold-painted overglaze decoration, which adds both warmth, elegance and classical gravitas to the tray.

The motif has a calm and almost narrative character. The small inscription with the date d. 20 September as well as the years 1847-1872 gives the tray a commemorative quality, which makes it extra interesting for collectors of antique porcelain, historical trays and Royal Copenhagen. It is precisely this kind of detail that makes older decorative porcelain so fascinating to own and to pass on.

The tray appears as a decorative porcelain dish, which can be used both as a serving tray, display piece or as part of an elegant table setting. The oval shape and the decorative handles on the sides make it suitable to be displayed, where it can be enjoyed as craftsmanship in itself. Use it for serving, for storing small items or as a striking feature in a display cabinet, on a dining table or on a chest of drawers.

Royal Copenhagen is known for porcelain of high quality, and this tray clearly bears the mark of the traditional craftsmanship that has made the brand sought-after among collectors all over the world. The combination of hand-painted landscape, gold rim and historical inscription makes it an obvious choice for you who are looking for a large porcelain tray with character, an antique Royal Copenhagen tray or a special gift for a porcelain collector.

At DPH - Danish Porcelain House we select porcelain with history, beauty and collector's value, and this tray is a fine example of how classic Danish porcelain can still create an eye-catcher in modern interior design.
