FREDERICK THE GREAT
HAD TWO GREAT LOVES: PORCELAIN AND DOGS
FREDERICK THE GREAT HAD TWO GREAT LOVES: PORCELAIN AND DOGS
Frederick the Great had two great loves: porcelain and dogs. His last words were to Superbe, his favorite dog, who faithfully remained at his deathbed.
The award-winning Leipzig artist and comic artist Anna Haifisch has now combined Friedrich's passions on the bowls of the LAB collection - as a humorous combination of passion and history. Biche, Alcmène, Hasenfuß, Thisbe, Phillis, Arsione and Suberbe - Friedrich's seven wind chimes now jump, play and chase in delicate blue lines on a white background. It is no coincidence that their pointed-snouted filigree reminds us of birds. Because: not only Haifisch prefers to dedicate himself artistically to feathered motifs, Friedrich also knew: “An idiot who to this day has not recognized that the wind chime is not a dog at all, but a four-legged bird.”

The decors of the now produced edition were applied by the KPM master painting in a manufactory hand printing process in the artist's spirit and are therefore very robust and dishwasher safe.

When it comes to porcelain, purity, whiteness and hardness play a major role (similar to the otherwise preferred medium of paper). “When an ink pen glides smoothly and wetly over a smooth surface, there is nothing more satisfying for me,” sums up the artist.
The glazed part of the LAB Bowls provided the perfect surface for Haifisch: she applied her designs by hand with a pen and paint.
