Dear lusyvoronova, thanks for the theme! At Royal Copenhagen Porcelain Manufactory also thought about it )
In the history of china has the world famous and most expensive service " Flora of Denmark " (Royal Copenhagen Flora Danica), created by the plants botanical atlas of the Danish kingdom . The service was signing with the best artists of the plant in 1790 for about 12 years by order of the future Danish King Frederick VI, and was intended Russian Empress Catherine the Great . It was supposed to be recreated all the species of the Danish kingdom ( about 2600 ) , and of course , flowers .

But I'm a bit confident that these porcelain flowers have the right to stay in your theme ... because the artists tried to copy as accurately as wildlife , and more ... <! - ~ 3 ~ ->

Caramel, a question nomet three photos:

Design instruments (forks spoons) too 18th century?

NATA NOVA, you surprised me ... what a good question)) ... I do not know , but I think that the design of metal parts ( with minor variations ... three teeth ?) And porcelain slips unchanged. I compared with subjects of Ribbons crockery factory Gardner (1770-1790 -ies ) . Perhaps the first fork , imported in 1606 in Russia Marina Mnishek had two teeth , but in Europe under Catherine the Great design has already been standardized .

Caramel, you can ask for a link.
from a photo?

(Thank you)
