ARKADIA
Every single one of the precious ARKADIA-medallions tells an episode from the ancient world of legends. Trude Petri's neoclassical forms, created in 1938, provide ideal stages for the appearances of Cupid, Demeter and Pan, dolphin and Leo, shell and panpipe - the variety of motifs and ideas seems limitless. Together they form the myth of Arcadia, the paradisiacal place of happiness. Siegmund Schütz modeled the filigree reliefs from biscuit porcelain. The marble-like texture of the material allows the fine contours to stand out strikingly in the interplay of light and shadow.

SIEGMUND SCHÜTZ
Siegmund Schütz had a decisive influence on the aesthetics of Berlin porcelain until the 1970s. He was passionately committed to the revitalization of the art medal. The ARKADIA collection, designed in 1938, is the ageless proof of his success.
