In 1763 Frederick the Great took over porcelain works from a Berlin businessman. The Prussian King gave the works their current name, KPM: Königliche Porzellan-Manufaktur, or Royal Porcelain Manufacturing. He also gave the porcelain its royal insignia - the royal blue sceptre and orb.

To this day, Berlin porcelain is still shaped and painted by hand in the traditional style, with passion and high-quality craftmanship.

Trude Petris' design of 1938 is marked by clear lines; the receptacles are cylindrical or conical. The plates, with their clear break between the rim and the centre, are in the style of 17th-century pewter plates. No other table service so perfectly fulfilled the demand for a new functionalism proposed by the Deutscher Werkbund and Bauhaus in the early 20th century.

*In this pattern a delicate platinum rim is added to the plain white Urania porcelain pieces (pictured). Please note that there are currently no available images of each Urania piece in the platinum rim design. If you have any questions please contact the Wunsch Boutique team at: info@wunschboutique.de.
