Here's something that I have found countless times at my local thrift store. Honestly, I believe that people got this kind of thing as a wedding gift 20-30 years ago and they just never used it. Then they simply donated it with their other useless dishes to the Salvation Army!
Here is a little background from the official Royal Copenhagen site:
Royal Copenhagen was founded in 1775, and its products have been made ever since with deep respect for tradition and high standards of craftsmanship. Today, Royal Copenhagen is a world-famous brand known for its exclusive, high quality porcelain products and immaculate design and craftsmanship.
Here is a small (6 inches) tureen that sold for over $700!
Here are a set of 2 Royal Copenhagen Flora Danica Plates...they sold for $1200.
This special Christmas plate from 1951 (see the date at the bottom) recently brought in $345.
When it comes to this kind of item, the importance lies in the authentication of the piece. There is no better place to get official Royal Copenhagen markings than this site HERE. There are pictures and dates of the markings to help you date your items.- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -- - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

Hi! I have quite a few Royal Copenhagen items I inherited from my grandmother that I want to sell. A set of china, some xmas plates, possibly some figurines. Some appear to be quite valuable, but I have no idea, esp. living in rural Montana, where to sell them. Do you actually sell your fragile items on ebay and then ship them? Or, is it better to find someone nearby, so you don't need to risk breaking items in transit? Thanks for the inspiration and info!
