Royal Copenhagen was founded in 1775 under patronage of the Danish monarchy. For more than two centuries, the company has manufactured porcelain with the deepest respect for the tradition of fine craftsmanship. Royal Copenhagen is world-renowned for its iconic hand-painted porcelain and bold interpretation of the porcelain factory’s rich design legacy.

In an museological exercise at the flagship store on Amagertorv 6, Royal Copenhagen and Griegst unveil a siren-guarded treasure from the archives. Celebrating one of the most spectacular and visionary showpieces from Royal Copenhagen’s rich tradition of artist collaborations, the exhibition transports guests to strange shores and presents the resurrection and new incarnation of a porcelain masterpiece. The showcase reawakens the Surreal magic created in this meeting between two pinnacles of uncompromising art and craftsmanship, and the artistic freedom Royal Copenhagen has always sought to cultivate.
