I had the privilege of experiencing the behind the scenes of one of the most prestigious porcelain collections in the world: hold an item of Flora Danica and you hold a witness of Danish heritage in your hand.

By the moment you receive your piece of Flora Danica, it has passed through 30 pairs of hands. Artisans perform their savoir faire with delicate, methodical and sublime gestures that only true craftsmanship can offer!

For 59 years now, Royal Copenhagen's sumptuous flagship store, at number 6 on Copenhagen's central Amagertorv square, has hosted a Christmas exhibition that attracts visionary visitors and enthusiasts from all over the world. This 59th edition was the first I saw with my own eyes, accompanied though a delightful private tour to experience each 'Christmas Table' up close.
