Denmark

RC issued a series of 3.25' diameter plaquettes that mostly feature scenes of Denmark. They were made of faience (earthenware) rather than porcelain, and transfer printed in traditional Copenhagen blue and white. They have a pierced foot for hanging and most are marked with the series number 2010 and the number of the scene depicted on that particular plaquette. These plaquettes are no longer distributed in the US. Their last US list price was $15 each. Like all Royal Copenhagen faience, the earlier plaquettes bear the Royal Copenhagen modified beehive mark (actually a capital 'A' representing the Aluminia Factory with the cross strokes made up of three wavy lines for Royal Copenhagen). After 1969, all RC faience carried the same mark as their porcelain: a crown surrounded by the words 'Royal Copenhagen Denmark'.

A small hard-cover book (8.75' by 5.5') entitled The Danish Royal Copenhagen Plaquettes: 2010 Series was written by Earl Nelson Newman and privately printed in 1973. It contains pictures and descriptions of plaquettes #1 through #85, plus the special collections that were issued featuring six American Presidents, six zoo animals, and six antique autos. Additional scenes have been issued since then and an unknown number of scenes were issued and discontinued before the current numbering system began. Among those was a special issue for the 1939 New York World's Fair. Jamiri.dk
