Royal Copenhagen Plaquettes - 2010 Series
Brand: Royal Copenhagen
Series: 2010
Type: Plaquettes
About: Royal Copenhagen issued a series of 3.25" diameter plaquettes (small plaques) which mostly feature scenes of Denmark. They are made of faience (earthenware) rather than porcelain, and transfer printed in traditional Copenhagen blue and white. They have a pierced foot for hanging, and most are marked with the series number (2010) and the number of the scene on that particular plaquette. Like all Royal Copenhagen faience, the earlier plaquettes bear the Royal Copenhagen modified beehive mark (actually a capital "A" with the cross stroke made up of three wavy lines); after 1969, all Royal Copenhagen faience carried the same mark as their porcelain: a crown surrounded by the words "Royal Copenhagen Denmark".
