Late medieval lead glazed wares and later slipware show a kinship with contemporary English pottery. The principal manufacture in Denmark of faience was at Copenhagen where in 1722 the Store Kongensgade factory was founded' its best period was from 1727_49, when its wares where evidently derived from the blue and white of Nuremberg, with a strong Baroque  element. The factory of Kastrup was started from around the middle of the 18th century and produced its best wares from 1755 to 1762 when its decoration was in the Strasburg Rococo style painted in muffled colours. The factory  at Kastrup together  with those of Gudumlund and Bornholm Island produced cream coloured wares in English style from the late 18th and early 19th Centuries.

The chief manufactories of porcelain where the short lived undertaking of Louis Fournier making soft paste (1759-65) and F.H. Mullers, afterwards the Royal factory making true porcelain from 1771-2 onwards. That of Bing and Grondahl dates from about 1853.

The Fournier soft paste porcelain is usually a faintly yellowish colour and has somewhat dull glaze, its production was chiefly table wares of modest dimensions painted in soft enamel colours.

The Royal factory adopted its mark in 1775 the well known device of three wavy lines ( for the sound and the great little belts).  Prior to its royal period (1779 onwards its ware under Muller where in general painted in under glazed blue, purple or red iron, from the beginning of the royal period the forms adopted where of severe classical character.

Some colossal vases, mirror frames and large columns with figures of women and cupids where also made towards 1800> it should be noted that the well know biscuit figures after Thorvaldsen where not made before 1867. The word Eneret stamped on many of them means Copyright.
