Founded in 1775 as the Royal Danish Porcelain Manufactory under the patronage of Queen Juliana Marie of Denmark, Royal Copenhagen is known for creating exclusive, hand-crafted porcelain combined with beautiful design and craftsmanship - making it sublime. Since the manufacturer, one of the first porcelain producers in Europe, was founded, all painters have signed their work on the bottom of each piece, making it a small work of art. Royal Copenhagen's long history is linked to the Danish royal heritage, the iconic blue colour and the three waves that make up the logo that has been painted on every piece of porcelain since 1775, symbolizing the three straits around Denmark: the Øresund, the Great Belt and the Little Belt.

Knud Kyhn was a well-known Danish designer, born on 8 June 1880 in Grenaa, Denmark, and died on 17 July 1969 in Copenhagen. He is best known for his work in ceramics and sculpture.
He studied at the School of Arts and Crafts in Copenhagen, where he specialized in ceramics. After graduating, he worked for the Royal Copenhagen porcelain factory, one of the oldest and most prestigious in Denmark. He stayed there for almost 50 years, from 1903 until his retirement in 1957.

During his time at Royal Copenhagen, Knud Kyhn created many highly successful pieces in ceramics and porcelain. He was particularly recognized for his animal sculptures, including his expressive depictions of lions, tigers, bears and dogs. His creations are characterized by their striking realism and attention to detail, capturing the movements and expressions of animals with precision.
