Historic porcelain in an old factory setting

Royal Copenhagen Outlet Frederiksberg sits in the company’s former production site on Søndre Fasanvej, a short hop from central Copenhagen yet with a more local, residential feel. Stepping inside, you are walking into the story of a brand founded in 1775, long associated with Danish royal households and design traditions. The building retains an understated industrial character, a reminder of the days when kilns fired thousands of plates and cups on this very plot. Today the kilns are quiet, but the shelves are full. The outlet brings together the heritage of Royal Copenhagen’s hand-painted porcelain with the practicality of outlet prices, creating a space where collectors, design fans and curious visitors browse side by side under soft lighting and neat rows of stacked boxes.

Two floors of blue-and-white treasures

The heart of the experience lies in the sheer range of porcelain spread over two levels. On the lower floor, you will typically find tableware lines such as Blue Fluted Plain, Blue Fluted Mega, Princess and White Fluted, alongside more contemporary shapes and glazes. Some pieces are graded as second quality, often for minuscule imperfections in the glaze or painting that most people would struggle to spot. The upper level and side sections are often devoted to discontinued designs and the “last of their kind” pieces that have left the main collections. This is where you might track down a missing serving dish, a specific cup shape, or a quirky figurine that no longer appears in regular stores. Prices are clearly marked, with reductions compared to first-quality items, inviting slow, careful inspection of each shelf.

Understanding second quality and special offers

Part of the outlet’s appeal is the chance to buy second-quality porcelain from an intensely quality-focused brand. These items have passed through strict controls and been set aside for imperfections that are mostly cosmetic: a tiny iron spot, a slight variation in color, or a near-invisible irregularity in the glaze. Function and durability remain the same, which makes them attractive for everyday use and for expanding existing sets. Mixed among them are discontinued first-quality pieces and occasional special campaigns. Around the main holidays you may see strong emphasis on Christmas plates, Easter ornaments and seasonal patterns, often at extra-reduced prices. For visitors from abroad, tax-free shopping can further lower the cost on larger purchases, adding to the sense of hunting out a good deal while still buying genuine Royal Copenhagen ware.

Neighbourhood atmosphere in Frederiksberg

Outside the outlet’s doors, the surroundings are very different from the busy pedestrian streets of the inner city. Frederiksberg is an independent municipality within greater Copenhagen, known for its grand villas, tree-lined avenues and nearby attractions such as Frederiksberg Gardens and the Copenhagen Zoo. The outlet’s location reflects that quieter, more residential character, with local cafés and small shops scattered along the streets. This setting influences the shopping experience. You can take your time, step outside for a break, and combine porcelain hunting with a stroll through greenery or a coffee in a nearby side street. For many visitors, the outlet forms part of a broader day exploring Frederiksberg’s parks, architecture and food scene rather than a quick dash in and out.

Planning your visit and making the most of it

The outlet usually follows consistent opening hours, with long days from Tuesday to Friday, shorter hours on Saturdays, and Sunday opening around midday, which suits both local shoppers and weekend city-break visitors. It is common to spend from one to two hours browsing, especially if you are comparing patterns or checking for specific items to complete a collection. Shelving is arranged so that you can inspect pieces up close, lifting cups and plates to look for the characteristic scratch in the glaze that indicates second quality. Staff are used to detailed questions about series, production periods and matching pieces, and can often suggest alternatives if a particular item is no longer available. With careful searching and a bit of luck, you can walk away with a slice of Danish design history at a price that softens the porcelain’s usual exclusivity.
