"Flora Danica· Porcelain tour, decorated in colours and gold with flowers, final and trade in the shape of twisted twigs and repoussé flowers. No 359. Royal Copenhagen. H. 22 cm L. 34 cm. Dracocephalum Ruyschiana L and Anemone coerulescens. The name Flora Danica is identified from a botanical work by Georg Christian Oeder (1728 • 1791) on the Danish flora. It was published 1761•1883 and depicts the Danish flora in hand-colored cups engravings. Presumably, King Christian VII (1766°1808) had commissioned the Flora Danica tableware as a present to Empress Catherine II of Russia. She died, however, before the production was complete and so this tableware came to remain in the pose of the royal family. Today, the beautiful royal Flora Danica is kept at Rosenborg Castle and Amalienborg, Christian VII. Flora Danica is made in the exact same way today as it was 200 years ago. All details are modelled and painted by hand. No remarks.
