KPM Berlin Blanc de Chine Porcelain Allegorical Figure of Flora, c. 1880-1920

Story

In the late 19th century, Berlin's elite sought refuge from industrial grime by filling their salons with pure white porcelain. This figure of Flora brought the eternal promise of spring and classical beauty directly into the Victorian-era parlor. Its pristine white glaze was designed to catch the flickering glow of evening candlelight.

Maker / Origin

Founded in 1763 by King Frederick the Great of Prussia, KPM (Königliche Porzellan-Manufaktur) became the ultimate symbol of royal prestige. Frederick was so obsessed with his porcelain works that he personally gifted its masterpieces to foreign monarchs, establishing the cobalt blue scepter as a global mark of uncompromising luxury.

Condition & Value

The porcelain body and glaze appear to be in excellent condition with a beautiful, bright white luster. There is some minor surface dust in the crevices, and the delicate edges of the hand-formed roses should be closely inspected for tiny, common fleabites or chips.
