This exceptional porcelain dinner plate from the Royal Copenhagen Porcelain Manufactory was created in the legendary Flora Danica pattern, and is adorned with a colorful rendering of Anemone ranunculoides L., also known as the yellow, yellow wood, and buttercup anemone. Splendid detail from the hand-painted design to the gilt-accented, reticulated rim and the flower's hand-lettered Latin name on the reverse, distinguish this exceptional plate.
Flora Danica is regarded as one of the most prestigious and stunning patterns ever created, and has been synonymous with royalty and prestige for over two centuries. Commissioned in 1790 by King Christian VII of Denmark for Empress Catherine the Great of Russia, Flora Danica has become synonymous with royal prestige and has remained the crowning achievement of the European decorative arts for over 200 years. In fact, Flora Danica pieces are still given as official gifts by the Royal Danish Family and Danish government.
