Description
Royal Copenhagen Fajance 1977 Year Cup Mug. This is a small 7.5cm high mug. Designed by Inge Lise Koefoed. Made by Royal Copenhagen in Denmark in 1977 Excellent vintage condition with only very minor signs of age. Royal Copenhagen produced an annual mug every year from 1967 to 2014. The annual mug 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 disk on its base, some of which were engraved & are often polished out on resale. 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. Both sizes make excellent gifts for a person to mark their year of birth. 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 excelled at in the Mid Century period. 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.
