Royal Copenhagen was founded in Copenhagen in 1775 as the Royal Porcelain Factory. The manufactory became internationally renowned for Danish porcelain and around 1900 developed a distinctive design language characterised by natural motifs and hand-painted underglaze decoration. Plates with model number 10520 are known with various floral decorations and were produced in several variants during the early 20th century.
