Royal Copenhagen Flora Danica Signatures

We are working on finding out who is behind the signatures used on Royal Copenhagen Flora Danica. Both painters and also the gilders, as both groups are some of the most stilled workers at Royal Copenhagen (Den Kongelige Porcelænsfabrik).

If you, yourself have been or is a Flora Danica painter or gilder, we would like to hear from you. Then we will add you, to our list. If you have had a Flora Danica painter in your family and know the signature and/or have a story, then please contact us as well.

We of course know it will be difficult to find all the names behind the signatures. So on many signatures we will have to live with just figuring out the dateline they were used. So if you own some Flora Danica pieces, we would like to receive a pictures of the marks on the back. Then we will add the information to this site.

For the user of these signatures: The signatures are used on all overglaze items. So if you have Royal Copenhagen patterns like Henriette, Saxon Flower and others. Then these signatures will work for you too.
