Each example features a different botanical specimen, rendered with remarkable precision and delicacy, drawn from the famed Flora Danica botanical atlas.

This set includes a 10” dinner plate, 7.75” salad plate, 5.75” bread plate, and a cup with matching 5.5” saucer. While produced across different years, all pieces belong to the Flora Danica service and reflect the same extraordinary standard of craftsmanship for which Royal Copenhagen is known.

Each piece is decorated with a unique botanical study, labeled in Latin beneath the specimen:

* Dinner Plate: Rosa fluvialis Mull. (ca. 2000–2004)
* Salad Plate: Viola uliginosa Bess. (ca. 1985–1991)
* Bread Plate: Medicago minima Dam. (ca. 1980–1984)
* Cup & Saucer: Oabus tuberosus (ca. 1985–1991)

The Flora Danica service originated in the late 18th century as a royal commission for the Danish court and remains in production today, with each piece still hand-painted by master artisans. These works are as much scientific illustration as they are functional objects, occupying a rare intersection of art, botany, and decorative design.
