| Summary | "Chats on Royal Copenhagen Porcelain" by Arthur Hayden is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The book explores the rich history and artistic significance of the Royal Copenhagen Porcelain Factory, drawing attention to its development and the key figures involved in its creation. Focused on the artistry and craftsmanship of porcelain, it seeks to enrich the reader's understanding of what makes this factory renowned in the field of ceramics. The opening of the book sets the stage by discussing the context and conditions of porcelain manufacturing in 18th century Denmark, particularly the efforts to establish a porcelain factory under King Frederik V. It introduces the challenges faced, such as the elusive nature of creating true porcelain and the influence of existing European factories. Hayden highlights notable periods, including the Fournier period, and provides insights into the artistic journey of Danish porcelain, which eventually culminated in the establishment of a national identity in its ceramics craftsmanship. This initial exploration reveals a deliberate effort to both honor historical significance and present a visual representation of the porcelain through illustrations, marking the beginning of a detailed examination of the Royal Copenhagen Porcelain Factory's legacy.
