China From Copenhagen


WTHAT SPARKS the collecting instinct to
w turn an entire family into confirmed
lobbyists?
With the Sanford Preslars of Arlington, 1t
was the beauty of Danish artistry seen all
around them in the city Of Copenhagen that
led to their large collection of Royal Copen-
hagen" porcelain china, one Of the most
complete in this area.
Before 1851 the PreSlarS and their sons
Sandy and Layne. had little knowledge Of
Danish porcelain. But that year the family
began three-year tour Of duty in Copenhagen,
where Col. Preslar was assigned as Air Force
Chief Of Logistics with the United States
EmbaSsy's advisory group.
The family's collective hobby got its start
after Col. Preslar presented his wife with
Royal Copenhagen dinner service for eight In
honor of their 18th wedding anniversary.
From that moment on, the entire family
became interested In the blue and white china,
collecting matching pieces, some rare antiques,
until today their collection runs into the
hundreds.
The history of Royal Copenhagen porcelain,
almost from its beginning In IT'S in the Royal
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1956-07-22

Copenhagen Mandatory, can be traced
through the PreSlars' pattern.
While the hand painted, distinctive Danish
chinaware is made in many shapes shades and
patterns, the Preslar family chung to the
popular Royal Copenhagen design.
In the off1cial Mandatory, as early as the
beginning years, the now famous trade mark
of three wavy separate lines had been adopted,
Symbolizing the Belts and the Sound, Den
marks three main waterways from the Kattegat
to the Baltic.
Among the products produced in the early
years was the now famous underglaze dinner
service which the Preslars chose, the So-called
''blue-fluted" service Their collection includes
three varied styles in the same pattern: The
plain edge, the half-lace pattern edge and the
open-lace edge.
Mrs. PreSlar haunted Copenhagens antique
shops looking for pieces matching her initial
set. Her children and husband caught the
same fever. They came home with blue
futed dinner service for IA, and numerous
matching antique pieces, some dating back to
the beginning of the industry and no longer
manufactured.

REPORTERS SHUTTLE
back and forth between desks
and the big blackboard. It's
getting more and more diff
cult to read the chalk figures
now because they've been
erased SO often to make way
for later returns.
Others are at the tele-
phones, trying to get state
ments from this winning
candidate or that losing can
didate, and finding the latter
job more difficult. A man at
one desk is clipping apart
endless strips of telegraph
stories, and there are shouts
about what the heck hap
pened to the latest returns
from Ohio.
Still others are pecking
away at adding machines
and typewriters, trying to
make sense out Of the mass
of papers and charts. Con-
versations are shouted through
this bedlam, and although
several of the conversations
cross, they somehow get con-
nected up.
There are nerves here as
raw as any you can find in
the State Department or the
United Nations.

Haggard men and women,

people are colliding with one
another in the aisles between

to dodge and negotiate the

Some of the workers have

disgusting their interest by
shutting papers as if they're
clearing their desks.
They have learned long ago
not to put too much trust in
