<p>[QUOTE=&quot;the blacksmith, post: 11877942, member: 20148&quot;]My grandparents, who were Danish and lived in Copenhagen, had Royal Copenhagen porcelain dinner service, and enough for twelve people, with all the side plates, coffee cups and saucers, coffee pots, milk jugs, tureens and all the rest. They bought a piece every month &#039;til they had the complete set. They used it every single day, and I remember it well. Unfortunately, when my grand mother passed it was found that the sixty years of continued use hadn&#039;t been kind to the service, and so very little was saved.</p><p>I have promised myself to buy a set for myself (Just enough for me!<img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/rolleyes.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":rolleyes:" unselectable="on" />), but with a single dinner plate costing from about 1700,- Dkk (ca. $150), this may take some time!<img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/frown.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":(" unselectable="on" /></p><p>The above said, when I was in Dresden over forty years back, I wanted to buy my neighbour a cup and saucer, as he was German and came from Dresden. However, even then, and this was East Germany remember, a single simple white cup and saucer with a simple gold line was the equivalent of&nbsp; £240!<img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/eek.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":eek:" unselectable="on" />&nbsp; Unfortunately, he didn&#039;t get the cup and saucer.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
