KPM Berlin Plate Depicting a German Palace

Mid 20th Century/Berlin, Germany

KPM, Königliche Porzellan-Manufaktur Berlin, is one of the oldest porcelain manufacturers in Europe, founded in 1763 by Frederick the Great. Renowned for its high-quality porcelain and artistic designs, KPM has produced numerous decorative plates and tableware collections throughout its long history. The "Berliner Schlösser" (Berlin Palaces) series is a notable collection that showcases iconic landmarks of Berlin.

This particular plate features an illustration of the Bellevue Palace, both significant historical sites in Berlin. These decorative plates were often produced as souvenirs or collector's items, reflecting the architectural heritage and cultural significance of the depicted locations. The detailed hand-painted or transfer-printed imagery combined with the embossed border exemplifies KPM's commitment to craftsmanship.
