Mid Century Oval Danish Trinket Box by The Copenhagen Porcellain popular Decorating Workshop or Kjøbenhavns Porcellains Maleri 2 Kissing Toddlers

A white porcelain trinket box with nude twins kissing with gilt hair and cloth by KPM Denmark. SKU-1406


The Copenhagen Porcellain Decorating Workshop was founded in 1883. In 1924 it was acquired by the wholesaler company Holst & Knudsen. Holst & Knudsen imported to Denmark whiteware porcelain from Germany and decorated it.

The Great Depression made difficult importing cheap German porcelain. That's why Holst & Knudsen established in 1936 own porcelain factory Porcelænsfabriken Danmark. During first years of production, the factory was using the Kjøbenhavns Porcellains Maleri (KPM) mark. It continued production till 1969.

In 2012, the Danish Porcelain Manufactory – Lyngby Porcelæn was reopened by Christian Elving who in 2011 acquired from owner's family all rights and drawings.

This charming porcelain trinket box lid depicts what looks like twins playing. The twins' hair is painted with gilt, as well as the loin cloth, and accents on the bottom part of the box.

A lovely gift to top your dresser or vanity table.
