Provenance

From the collection of Börje Johansson, a Swedish private collector, who focused on the most rare pieces from the famous Musselmalet service from Royal Copenhagen. He collected 1 000 objects for 20 years and now Bukowskis are entrusted to sell over 700 items in three auctions. The first part is offered online in November 2024, eighteen of the most spectacular pieces are to be sold at the Important Winter Sale 661, the last part of the collection will be offered in March 2025. The main focus in Börje Johanssons collection has been individual interesting pieces and not the full services. This is a collection comprising some of the earliest and most desirable Musselmalet items, but also later interesting collectibles, each piece made with the recognized and loved craftmanship of Royal Copenhagen, Den Kongelige Porcelainsfabrik.

Literature

Lauritz B. Dorenfeldt. Kongeligt Porcelaen 1820-1923. Blåmalet porcelain fra Den Kongelige Porcelainsfabrik. Blå Blomst sveifet, model depicted on Pl 1, page 117.

More information

The pattern Blå blomst was created for the first time at Royal Copenhagen in 1779.

For 250 years, Royal Copenhagen has created porcelain with outstanding craftsmanship. Every step in the process—from the first sketch to the last painter’s brushstroke—shows meticulous and skilled craftsmanship, making each piece unique. Since its founding in 1775, Royal Copenhagen (Den Kongelige Porcelainsfabrik) has been a symbol of quality and tradition in porcelain. The techniques once developed by master artisans live on and are still used today to create each individual item with the same precision and care.
