Royal Copenhagen 20 19 1 CATALOGUE — 2019 1 bl ue For more than 240 years, the universe of blue has encapsulated Royal Copenhagen. It lives in ration, proud craftsmanship, and treasures from the past. Leaving marks of memories in the the cobalt blue depths of the hand-painted decorations, floating as calm seas across porcelain sand, passing on stories of heritage. Pulling on history as they are drawn back into the sea, surfaces. And it lives in the three waves marked on every piece of porcelain; an ocean of blue bringing the future with them as they return. The colour of the waves is the deepest of blue, that surrounds us, defines us, and connects us, and that tells tales of legacy, nationality, and embracing mind and soul as it takes you on a journey to the calmness of the oceans. A journey authenticity. The waves carry stories from far away, whispering legacy fables of cultural inspi- to stories reflected in blue. 2 3 Foreword by Lone Rahbek Ethnologist the sea As Danes, we are drawn towards the sea, as our feeling of happiness increases as we walk along the beach, swim in the cool waters, surf and sail the white-tipped waves, or enjoy the view of the sea. One might be led to believe that the geography of Denmark is the sole reason for the impact from the ocean on the happiness of the Danes. Our country is surrounded by the ocean – the Baltic Sea, the Kattegat, the Skagerrak, and the Northern Sea – and is made up of the peninsula Jutland and more than 1,400 islands connected by fer- ries, air routes, and many bridges, the latter of which are such a sub- stantial part of our identity that they are depicted on our banknotes. Our capital and almost all large cities are located by the sea, and no matter where you find yourself in the Danish countryside, you are ne- ver more than 52 kilometers from the 8,750 kilometers of Danish coastline. However, our perception of the sea as a source of happiness did not arise until the end of the 1800s. At that time, the European elite be- gan conceiving the magnificence of nature as a contrast to the ef- fects of industrialization, such as the man-made streamlining of landscapes, cities, dwellings, and household objects. Therefore, the Danish upper class established tourist associations to provide railroads, steam boats, kiosks, and seaside hotels, so more Danes could travel to the coast and experience the splendor of the sea. At the same time, large quantities of Japanese art poured into Europe and with its refined reproduction of nature it opened the eyes of the European avantgarde to the beauty in the waves of the sea, its fish, plants, and birds. As Danish artists began to conceive Photo: Anders Hviid-Haglund 4 5 Foreword by Lone Rahbek Ethnologist Danish nature the Japanese way, they moved to the shore to paint, and the bourgeoisie followed in their footsteps and put themselves up in newly built summer houses and seaside hotels to experience the ocean through the new conception of nature brought to them th- rough the arts. Royal Copenhagen has been of great importance to the forming of the Danes’ sense of the beauty of the sea. In 1885, Arnold Krog became Artistic Director of the factory and created porcelain that depicted the new perception of nature. At the world fair in Paris in 1889, the factory displayed figurines of ordinary fish painted in a newly developed range of colours and with a new complicated tech- nique, where the entire porcelain surface was decorated before the glazing. During the subsequent firing, the colours and glaze would fuse, recreating the soft colour tones of the Danish coastal climate. For decades on, the artists of Royal Copenhagen created an abun- dance of figurines such as crabs, snails, frogs, herons, ducks, sea- gulls, fish, seaweed, and polar bears, as well as dinnerware and va- ses depicting the Danish nature seen through the new Japanese eye. This modern porcelain would not only be displayed in the homes of wealthy collectors around the world but even more so in the homes of almost any Dane, contributing to our common perception of the sea as a source of happiness. Every single piece of porcelain made by Royal Copenhagen, since the factory’s foundation in 1775, carries Denmark’s connection to the sea in the three blue waves marked on the underside of the por- celain. The blue waves are a symbol of the Sound, the Great Belt, and the Little Belt – the waterways connecting The Baltic Sea and the waters of Denmark. And as the waves of the ocean, which are constantly pulled out into the big blue only to return to the shores of Denmark, the porcelain of Royal Copenhagen is like waves of the past billowing into the present and the future. 6 7 Content Royal Copenhagen 2019 36 44 SINCE 1775 — 11 MORNING DIP — 13 MODERN DINING — 16 THE BLUE IN MY LIFE — 36 WAVES OF BLUE — 40 PORCELAIN TALES — 44 SAILING THE DANISH SEAS — 83 COLLECTIONS — 86 40 16 Discovering the three waves since 1775 In an everlasting embrace, Royal Copenhagen and the blue waves of Denmark have been entwined for centuries; the waves of blue breathing life and inspiration into a world of por- celain. On the 1st of May 1775, at the founding meeting of Royal Copenhagen, then The Danish Por- celain Factory, protector of the factory, Queen Juliane Marie, proposed three wavy lines painted in blue should be the factory’s trademark. They were symbols of the three main waterways of Denmark: The Sound, the Great Belt, and the Little Belt. Still today, three blue waves are marked on every piece of Royal Copenhagen porcelain. 10 11 morning dip Taarbaek, Denmark Photography: Anders Hviid-Haglund For hundreds of years, a morning dip in the Danish winter sea has been a tradition for brave Danes. As the earliest sun- rays cast their sharp winter light on the horizon, winter bathers of all ages make their way to bathing establishments and piers along the coastline. Willing to take on the ice-cold immersion into the freezing water at the break of dawn, they slip out of their comfortable bathrobes, step out of their slippers, and tip-toe towards the water’s edge. All for the thrill of the chill. 12 13 It is as if time stands still at the edge of the winter sea. The silence ever present, the pale morning light, brisk wind, and soft mist adding an mythical feeling to the ritual of the morning dip. 14 15 modern dining Like the recurring waves of blue breaking on the shore, some elements of life are everlasting and habitual. Traditions wel- comed as both informal rituals, and affairs to prepare for with anticipation. Like setting a table; a repeated routine that we carry out with joy, time after time. It is an artform practiced and refined for centuries that lives and evolves with the rhythm of the times. Today’s modern dining is tailored for each event, and it is the experience that is the focal point more so than adher- ing to etiquette. The laced tablecloth of the formal dinner may be substituted for the raw surface of the table, the crystal glass- ware for colourful vintage glasses, and the beloved porcelain, previously saved for special occasions, is now allowed to frame any meal. Even so, preparing a table remains a treasured tradi- tion, and the stage is set for modern dining. ©Ukendt kunstner/VISDA 16 17 Timeless table settings Featured Blue Fluted Plain plate 27 cm and 22 cm, tureen 200 cl, dish oval 36.5 cm, bowl 47 cl, small square plate 9 cm, vintage vase 12 cm The new formal When a proper celebration is in or- der, the classic formal dinner setting is still a perfect formula.

Oeder’s conflict with Linnaeus and the implementation of taxonomic and nomenclatural ideas in the monumental Flora Danica project (1761–1883) I. Friis Natural History Museum of Denmark, University of Copenhagen, Universitetsparken 15, DK–2100 Copenhagen Ø, Denmark. [email protected] ABSTRACT. Hitherto unpublished parts of the history of the Icones … Florae Danicae (1761–1883), one of the largest illustrated botanical works published, are analysed; it covered the entire flora of the double monarchy of Denmark–Norway, Schleswig and Holstein and the North Atlantic dependencies. A study of the little noticed taxonomic and nomenclatural principles behind the Icones is presented. G.C. Oeder, founder of the project, approved the ideas of Buffon and Haller and rejected Linnaean binary nomenclature because of its lack of stability of genera. In the Icones …, Oeder cited all names used for each plant in chronological order, with the binary Linnaean name last, to which principle Linnaeus reacted. By the end of the 18th century, Linnaean nomenclature had become standard, apart from in Flora Danica and a very few other botanical works. Applying Linnaean nomenclature elsewhere, O.F. Müller, editor 1775–1782, and M. Vahl, editor 1787–1799, followed Oeder’s norm in the Icones. J.W. Hornemann, editor 1810–1840, followed Oeder in his first fascicles, but began experimenting with changes towards Linnaean nomenclature from 1810. After 1840, subsequent editors consistently applied Linnaean principles for accepted names and synonyms. Keywords. Accepted names, genera, natural classification, species, synonymy Introduction In his excellent monograph on how the Linnaean reforms gained general acceptance among botanists, Stafleu (1971: 260) specifically stated that he left out a discussion of C.G.

  • Denmark–Norway, 1761–1769: Two Missed Opportunities?
    MEETING VENUS C. Sterken, P. P. Aspaas (Eds.) The Journal of Astronomical Data 19, 1, 2013 Denmark–Norway, 1761–1769: Two Missed Opportunities? Per Pippin Aspaas University Library of Tromsø, N-9037 Norway Abstract. Despite a promising start in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, Denmark–Norway was not a Great Power of Astronomy any longer when the eight- eenth-century transits of Venus occurred. Official activity relating to the transit of 1761 was very limited; in this respect, Denmark–Norway was completely overshad- owed by Sweden and Russia. In 1769 steps were taken to invite an astronomer of international reputation, the Jesuit Father Maximilianus Hell. He arrived in 1768 and left the country two years later, having published an elaborate report in the name of the King Christian VII. Although Hell’s observations from Vardøhus were successful, Denmark–Norway failed to re-establish itself as a country capable of deliv- ering noteworthy contributions to the European community of astronomers. Sweden and Russia displayed a higher level of activity, both quantitatively and qualitatively, making the impression of Denmark–Norway’s lagging behind even stronger. 1. Introduction Throughout the eighteenth century, the northernmost part of Europe was divided between three powers: Denmark–Norway, Sweden, and Russia. They all encom- passed territories with very similar advantages as far as the transits of Venus were concerned. However, the history of Venus transit activity in the three countries men- tioned is far from uniform. Other contributions to these Proceedings analyze Venus transit activities in Sweden (Widmalm) and Russia (Bucher). There are also case studies on individual astronomers active in these parts (Pekonen, St´en & Aspaas, Voje Johansen, Kontler).

Tangherlini, Chair The academic study of Scandinavian culture and Scandinavian literature has long ignored the engagement of the Nordic nations in the tradition of drama and performance in medieval Europe. Early drama history scholars like Sophus Birket Smith and G.E. Klemming made claims about a perceived lack of practice based on limited sources and most of the scholars who followed them have accepted those claims as valid. Unfortunately, Birket Smith and Klemming were working with an incomplete corpus and nineteenth-century ideas about what constituted “drama”. Later scholars such as Frederick and Lise-Lone Marker and Terry Gunnell have made great headway in expanding the concept of drama and performance within the field of Scandinavian studies while also clarifying what texts we do, in fact, still have.

  • Lutheran Revival and National Education in Denmark: the Religious Background of N
    Scandinavica Vol 58 No 1 2019 Lutheran Revival and National Education in Denmark: The Religious Background of N. F. S. Grundtvig’s Educational Ideas Grażyna Szelągowska Warsaw University Abstract N. F. S. Grundtvig’s idea of national education has usually been regarded as a part of the history of adult education or as a complex of national ideas. This article takes into consideration that Grundtvig was first and foremost a clergyman, a founder of grundtvigianism and of the Grundtvigian revival movement. It presents a new perspective on the Lutheran background of Grundtvig’s educational programme, and its impact on the shaping of a civic society in Denmark. A religious revival which Grundtvig underwent during the first decades of the nineteenth century shaped the background of his educational programmes. Keywords N. F. S. Grundtvig, Lutheran revival, Grundtvigianism, national education, education in Denmark 6 Scandinavica Vol 58 No 1 2019 Introduction The nineteenth–century modernisation process in the Scandinavian countries has usually been presented as an example of a rather unique interplay of various agents: a peaceful transition from absolutist to democratic systems, the emergence of a free market economy, a crucial role for the state and the development of the underpinnings of the Nordic welfare model, a special position for the Lutheran churches, a wide spectrum of various popular movements, and the growth of civic society. The process of building a modern national identity is common to all those forms of modernisation, however different in particular Nordic countries. Romantic philosophy, with its sympathy for nationality and national identity (and even the idea of a new Nordic union: Scandinavianism), constituted a basis for the emergence of nineteenth–century social movements like national and pan–national organisations, popular education and folk high schools.
