[QUOTE="Rec, post: 9468019, member: 6899"]I contacted the Design Museum Copenhagen but they referred me to the Clay Keramiek Museum Danmark; in 2010 they inherited the entire historic collection from Royal Copenhagen– around 55.000 pieces of porcelain. ..... Your plates are made at Royal Copenhagen. The three waves are hand-painted in the first year of the factory and therefore vary slightly. From 1870, the waves begin to be stamped and therefore become more uniform. Klein and the capital letter K. are both signatures of the painter Christian Leonhard Klein (1810-1891). He started at the factory at the age of 15 in 1825. His specialty was flower painting. Unfortunately, there is no certain interpretation of the numbers pressed into the plate. If I have to summarize what I know for a dating, it is certain that the two plates you have sent pictures of are made between 1825 and 1870. I would immediately think that they were made between 1840 and 1860 but it is a little more uncertain. Best regards Allan Andersen Collection manager .... i also got an email from klosterkaelderen.dk (Danish Porcelain & Antiques, Mariager) and he said it is definitely 1800 Royal copenhagen But more exact – I am not an expert in 19th century marks – but it could go back to 1820s. ---- so i think with 1840-1860 dating i'm fairly secure[/QUOTE]
