Antique Danish Royal Copenhagen Rundskuedagen Vase "Upside Down Day" 1922 Porcelain Vase Denmark Scandinavian Design Collectible Nordic Gift

Rundskuedag is a Danish folk holiday during which everyone does things backwards or upside down. I have heard it translated as "Upside Down Day" but I often think of it as "Skewed 'Round Day" (a transliteration of Rund-skue-dag). Typically, bosses join the workers & one of the workers becomes the boss, & everybody has a good time doing things differently for one day of the year. Street entertainment is prevalent, & special events & sales are held to raise money for charity. Royal Copenhagen issued this series of vases as souvenirs of the day, with the proceeds going to charity. (Anyone with Danish ancestry who would like to expand or correct this description, please contact me!) The first Rundskuedagen vase was produced in 1910, & they continued every year through at least 1942. They were made in many shapes & sizes, often with a scene of a Copenhagen landmark on the vase, & always with the inscription RUNDSKUEDAG (or RUNDSKUEDAGEN) & the date. The designs are first molded into vase, & then handpainted, mostly in cobalt blue, in the same manner as Christmas plates. Some years are highlighted with additional colors.
