Porcelain Factory Denmark - Lyngby Porcelain (1936 - 1969) started as Kjøbenhavns Porcellains Maleri (KPM) founded in 1883 and was acquired by Holst & Knudsen in 1924. The wholesale company Holst & Knudsen imported not decorated porcelain into Denmark and let it decorate by various small porcelain paintings, one of which was KPM.

Based on the crisis of the 1930s, it was virtually impossible to import porcelain from Germany, so Holst & Knudsen established Porcelænsfabrikken Danmark later Lyngby Porcelain (1936 - 1969).
Porcelain Factory Denmark - Lyngby Porcelain has always been a distinctive mark on Danish porcelain history; artistic, but also production-wise. When the production was at its highest, the factory accounted for one third of the total Danish porcelain production. 

Original products from Porcelænsfabrikken Danmark-Lyngby Porcelæn have a hand-printed monogram Denmark-Lyngby at the bottom. The monogram on this vase was used from 1936 to the 1940s.
