Bing & Grøndahl was a Danish porcelain manufacturer founded in 1853. The company's Seagull dinnerware series became known as the "National Service of Denmark" in the 1950s when it was found in one tenth of all Danish households. In 1987 the company merged with its primary competitor, the Royal Porcelain Factory under the name Royal Copenhagen.
Bing & Grøndahls porcelain factory was established in 1853 in Copenhagen. Their earlier production consisted mostly of figurines, but in the 1880s began to artistically design tableware and stoneware. After 1987 the factory became part of the Royal Copenhagen company. One of the most famous tableware sets is the Måge set, or Måsen, created by Fanny Garde, which during the 1950s was promoted as Denmark’s national tableware.
