This mark of the factory, with the crown and words "Royal Copenhagen"
inscribed in circle are in _green_. The three lines beneath are in blue.
[Illustration]
The use of this mark is from the year 1889, on many examples for the
English and American markets.
These marks of the crown and the three lines, _in blue_, are used on
all copies of the old models of the =overglaze= Müller period. These
are found on reproductions of old and rare examples of the early
days, made by the factory on traditional lines. The revival of this
_overglaze_ painting is a new impulse. The artist's initials are added
to the crown in colour or gold.

CHAPTER IX
FIGURE SUBJECTS AND GROUPS
_RENAISSANCE PERIOD_
Form _versus_ colour--The technique of modelling--The sound
principles of old Copenhagen porcelain--Underglaze succeeds
overglaze colouring--The love of animal life--Peasant types and
children.
The highest test to apply to a figure subject in porcelain is that
it should be criticized in the biscuit stage. The crudities, the
disproportioned ornament or the restless lack of cohesion become at
once evident, without the touches of colour added to conceal the
poverty of the art.
