The Dansk Bistro line of porcelain china, designed by Niels Refsgaard, was introduced by Dansk in 1981 and was marketed as the "mix and match" line of tableware which included several stylized patterns as well as the Bisserup.


The Dansk Bistro line was designed by Niels Refsgaard, who graduated from the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts, The School of Design in Copenhagen in 1957, currently has a studio and shop in Bisserup, and his current designs are available online which can be seen with this link Refsgaard Danish Ceramics.


Dansk advertising described the Bistro line as "gleaming white porcelain  in traditional colors - cool sea-blue and warm earth-brown -- he offers distinctive border to mix and match in endless combinations."   The sapphire blue and the earthy brown were named Christianshavn after the trendy neighborhood in Copenhagen with a mix of old and new architecture.
