    I only have two pieces of Royal Copenhagen. This piece and "Wave and Rock". On my other piece, the mark is much newer and clearer. This, I assume, is the pre-1923 mark but because of the blurry mark, I am not positive. I picked this up for $275 and regardless of the year, I feel good about that price. That being said, I would appreciate some insight on the age of the piece. Also, is it common for the early marks to be this fuzzy?

    Yes. Thank you and this was basis for assuming an early mark, consistent with this image

    They indicated that this was prior to 1928 based on the painter number. I did not have any luck identifying painter 50 though

    According to the same website, Kyhn was both a painter and sculptor for Royal Copenhagen. Wonder if he painted his own designs?

    "Carl Edward Knud Kyhn (1880-1969), painter and sculptor, RC Factory in periods: 1903-1910; 1924-1932 and 1936- 1967."

    I am only speculating.
    I think your piece was made in his early period. 1903-1910.
    In the marks shown on the site already referenced. It looks like Denmark is added under the mark starting in 1924.

    According to the Royal Copenhagen site, Denmark was added to the mark in 1923.
    Kyhn hadn't returned to work there again until 1924.
