A heritage of craftsmanship and innovation
Since its founding in 1775, Royal Copenhagen has developed into one of the oldest and most prestigious porcelain manufacturers in the world. For over 130 years, it competed with Bing & Grøndahl, with both brands striving for technical perfection and artistic innovation. This rivalry stimulated the creation of some of the most refined porcelain pieces ever made.

A passion project spanning generations of expertise
This photobook is inspired by a two-generation spanning collection of Royal Copenhagen and Bing & Grøndahl, started in 1947 by author Elliot Todd's father. After 20 years of research, this publication offers a critical and detailed analysis of the history of both brands, from their founding to their eventual merger.
