I recently received an inquiry from a concerned consumer, who thought she shouldn't eat from old Christmas plates. - She wrote that she had been informed by Royal Copenhagen's customer service that the old plates could contain substances that were harmful to health, so they did not recommend that they be used as dinner plates!!!!
I must admit that I was somewhat astonished at her statements, so I immediately wrote to a good contact, we have at Royal Copenhagen, whether it could really be true that the old plates were not suitable for food.
The answer from Royal Copenhagen was:
Christmas plates can be used as ordinary plates
Christmas plates were originally made as decorative and collectible objects, but it has also been the intention that they could be used as ordinary plates. This is done today to a large extent, i.a. in Japan. Christmas plates have always been made of the same materials, ie. mass, glaze and color, as our underglaze-decorated plates e.g. Blue Fluted Mega, Blue Fluted, Seagull and more. Over the years, we have complied with - and continue to do so - the authorities' requirements regarding contact with food. Especially underglaze decorated objects such as Plates, Blue Fluted Mega, Blue Fluted etc. are completely resistant to contact with all materials - including food.
It should make it clear from Royal Copenhagen itself that their Christmas plates all the way back to the beginning are suitable to eat off without worries.
