This item is a rare antique Royal Copenhagen Blue Fluted Half Lace candy dish, produced between 1870 and 1890, during the early years of this intricate and elegant pattern.

Designed by Arnold Krog in 1888, the Blue Fluted Half Lace design is celebrated for its delicate lacelike border, handpainted cobalt blue florals, and — in this rare example — an elegant gold trim that adds to its sophistication and scarcity.

Crafted in a leafshaped form with a curled handle, this petite antique dish is both functional and decorative, and an uncommon find in this pattern, especially in such excellent condition.
