Description

Royal Copenhagen Fajance 1971 Mug Cup. This is the small mug/cup. It is 7.5cm high. It was designed by Hans Anderson. Made by Royal Copenhagen in Denmark in 1971 It is in excellent vintage condition. Royal Copenhagen produced an annual mug every year from 1967 to 2014. These annual mugs came in two sizes. The small is like a large espresso or small tea or coffee cup & it is dishwasher proof so suitable for everyday use. The large is more of a tankard, intended as a display piece & has a circular silver disc on its base, some of which were engraved & are often polished out on resale. It is thought that the disc was made by Georg Jensen. The small mugs are 7.5cm high & the large mugs are 12cm high. Each year Royal Copenhagen commissioned a different designer to design the annual mugs. Both sizes had exactly the same design. From 1967 to 1994 the mugs were made of Faience (Fajance in Danish), which is a traditional pottery technique of tin-glazed earthenware that Royal Copenhagen specialised in at their Alumina site. From 1995 the mugs were made of porcelain which enabled brighter, coloured designs. Note that we have attempted to show & state the condition as accurately as possible but this is a pre-loved, vintage item & some minor signs of age and/or use are to be expected.
