Beschreibung:

Painted and gilded decoration after a danish litterary work over the danish flora. Model no 3570. Heigth 12,5 cm.
The first Flora Danica service has an amazing story of war and alliance. In 1788-89 Russia and Sweden are at war. At the time Russia and Denmark are defence allies – but in the crucial hour Denmark fails to support the Russian army. Thus, the Danish King needs to make amends and come up with a reconciliation gift worthy of the Russian Empress. In 1790 he places an order for a dinner service so magnificent it can dazzle the whole world - the Flora Danica dinner service- and definitely an Empress like Catherine the 2nd, who is a notorious collector of fine porcelain. She dies before it is finished and the porcelain never crosses the boarders of Denmark.
