The wonderfully vivacious Saxon Flower teapot by Royal Copenhagen adds beautiful color and essential cheer to afternoon tea in the summer.
Since 1775, Royal Copenhagen has supplied the world with gorgeous teawares, like this exquisitely gilded Saxon Flower teapot bedecked with colorful blossoms. The company was founded by Danish Queen Julianne Marie, the widow of King Frederik V, who believed that it was imperative to secure the country’s economic prosperity through manufacturing domestic products. The brand is famous for blue-and-white china but also produces lesser-known treasures like this extraordinary pattern.
