ARKADIA
Each of these precious ARKADIAmedallions tells a story from the world of ancient mythology. Trude Petri’s neoclassical forms, created in 1938, provide the perfect stage for Cupid, Demeter, and Pan; the dolphin and the lion; the seashell and the pan flute—the variety of motifs and ideas seems boundless. Together, they weave the myth of Arcadia, that paradisiacal realm of happiness. Siegmund Schütz sculpted the delicate reliefs from bisque porcelain. The marble-like texture of the material allows the fine contours to stand out strikingly in the interplay of light and shadow.
Simple Platinum Decoration
The " Simple Platinum Decoration " collection frames ARKADIA’s neoclassical design in a cool, elegantly shimmering setting. Delicate lines of genuine " Bright Platinum " accentuate the silhouettes of plates, cups, and pitchers, while the white bisque medallions retain their three-dimensional effect through the interplay of light and shadow.
Simple Gold Decoration
Simple gold accents give “ ARKADIA ” a warm, festive look. The hand-applied “ Bright Gold ” complements the collection’s clean lines and subtly frames the mythological medallions—serving as a delicate accent that bridges classical austerity, narrative relief, and timeless table culture.
Gilded Medallion
ARKADIA’s antique scenes stand out particularly strikingly in the “ Gilded Medallion ” design. The gold-accented reliefs transform Cupid, Demeter, Pan, and the other motifs into exquisite focal points of the collection, blending neoclassical design with narrative opulence.
