Saucière (Urania - Monogram) - KPM

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

Trude Petris's 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.

The monograms appear in royal blue printed in Bodoni capital letters.
