History

client: Peter von Biron, Duke of Kurland year: 1790 material: porcelain

Commissioned by Peter von Biron, Duke of Kurland, a series in strict classicist form was created in Berlin around 1790 in line with the new aesthetic, which was to become the icon of the Königliche Porzellan-Manufaktur Berlin: KURLAND. Its shape pays homage to the ideals and design of the ancient world. Objectivity, austerity and symmetry combine to create a noble, cohesive and timeless form - probably the most important porcelain collection of classicism.

Product description

With its dark purple decoration, this KURLAND radiates pure elegance and grace. The vibrant shade, which alternates between red and blue , was already significant and valuable in the past: for a time, purple was considered the most expensive dye that could be produced. For this reason, the robes of the nobility were dyed purple to lend dignity and grace to the wearer. This KURLAND was refined with an elegant gold rim in addition to the dark purple Fond . The era of courtly Rococo, which produced decorations with shells and tendrils, was followed by Classicism.
