The porcelain factory Bing & Grondahl was established 19th April 1853 by Vilhelm Grondahl and the brothers Meyer and Jacob Herman Bing, who where book and art dealers.
Bing & Grondahl is not quite as old as Royal Copenhagen and therefore Bing & Grondahl has had a stamped mark under the bottom right from the beginning in 1853.
Until 1898, the Bing & Grondahl brand simply consisted of B&G stamped in blue. Bing & Grondahl then chose the three towers as its factory brand. The three towers are from the coat of arms of Copenhagen, showing the three towers of the castle of Absalon. The three towers have always been stamped in green. However, they continued to stamp with B&G in blue up to and including 1947.
The factory mark symbolizes Bing & Grondahl's connection to Copenhagen and the three towers have become synonymous with Bing & Grondahl in the same way that the three waves have become synonymous with Royal Copenhagen
