When Royal Copenhagen Porcelain took over the Anton Michelsen silver company in 1968, designers from both disciplines were encouraged to collaborate (see profile). Here is a fabulous pendant by the artistic director of the Aluminia Fajence division of Royal Copenhagen, Niels Thorsson. The cast porcelain is shaped as a fish, more specifically the Plaice, which is Denmark's favourite fresh fish. It has been hand decorated with gold and dark grey (rather than the usual red) spots.
