Just received a mailer recently on Royal Albert 100 years of mug series and thought about the tableware we see while dining. To a foodie like me, presentation of the tabletop wares is just as important as the food palate and quality! it is almost one of the key to a diner's appetite. Talking about tableware, I am still very much overwhelmed by the experience I had previously at Royal Copenhagen Tea Lounge (See older post).
My recollection of the Royal Copenhagen tableware is still vivid as I can recall that lovely Blue Fluted series tableware that I was served there... I really love it! Accordingly, the Blue Fluted series was designed by Arnold Krog. Designed originally as the Blue Fluted Plain series in 1775. The series has much evolved and became more elaborated with the designs incorporating Half Lace and Full Lace on the exterior lining the tableware. Blue Fluted Full Lace displays the utmost variation in ornamentation and craftsmanship. The lace-like weave of the borders is so intricate that only a very highly skilled craftsman can accomplish them in all their complexity. I had an urge to purchase them. If you are interested like me too, do take a look at Etabletop - the online authorised dealer for Royal Copenhagen. Recommend to also read their blog; I have listed it on the blog list at the right.
