Short biography of Aluminia:
Aluminia Fajancefabrik was founded in 1863 in Copenhagen and specialised in faience with decorative glazes and patterns. The factory became known for its functional forms and vibrant colours. In 1882, Aluminia took over the Royal Copenhagen Porcelain Manufactory but continued to produce under its own name until 1969, when the Aluminia name was discontinued.
