Bio:
Flora Danica is one of Royal Copenhagen’s most prestigious services, originally introduced in the late 18th century. The decoration is derived from scientific botanical illustrations and executed with exceptional precision and craftsmanship. Throughout its history, the service has been associated with formal representation, state occasions, and royal table settings, and is today regarded as one of the most highly sought-after porcelain patterns in Danish decorative arts.
