"Danmark" -Vs- "Denmark"???
I just picked up some really amazing teak coasters. the edges are stamped "Danmark". after a little reading i stumbled across a thread that stated items marked Danmark were never meant to be exported. I was wondering if there was any truth to that? thanks all.

Steve04424, I think it's...
Steve04424, I think it's true.
Most Danish furniture exported to America will use 'Denmark' while most domestic furniture uses the 'Danmark' spelling.
I do come across alot of 'Danmark' tags here in the states and they are almost always from military families who imported the furniture themselves.

I lived there and
the stuff you buy there says "Danmark" for the most part.
In my auction-going days here in the U.S., I would see Danmark-marked smalls now and then and they were probably mostly things people brought back from their travels.
("Danmark" is the name of the country in Denmark. I mean, that's how the Danes say it, for anyone who is new to this. "Dansk" is Danish for "Danish", in addition to being the name of the company that produced so many wonderful things.)
