KPM Royal Berlin "Arkadia Gray" 6 Piece Place Setting

KPM Royal Berlin “Arkadia Gray” 6 Piece Place Setting

Abbreviated as KPM, Königliche Porzellan-Manufaktur was the Royal Porcelain Factory in Berlin , also known as the Royal Porcelain Manufactory, whose products are generally called Berlin porcelain. For more than 255 years, Berlin manufactory has been producing porcelain in the most filigree handwork and KPM has produced a number of dish-ware forms and porcelain figurines throughout its history. To this day, the most successful designs of the 1930s are the Urbino, Urania and Arkadia (originally a tea set designed in honor of KPM's 175th anniversary) created by Trude Petri. The Arkadia medallions were created by Siegmund Schütz and the Urania set (with the same basic form as the Arkadia) did not enter production until after the war, as was also the case with the Arkadia table set. Porcelain figurines of different styles corresponding to each era have always been created under the guidance of the master workshop, including the modern animal sculptures, such as the miniature Buddy Bear or the Knut Bear.
